Winter District - Skies
Amilia, noticing she was at a good distance from the girls, decided to open a portal.
Amilia: I don't need them...I never will...
Music: Justice
Then, she noticed a beam coming at her direction. She dodged it, surprised by its speed.
Amilia: What?
It was Nepgear and Uni, both now on their HDD forms. Amilia could also feel something else from them.
Amilia: No...way...Such a bad timing for this to happen...Both of you awakened to your potential...
Black Sister: As a Irregular right? Kael told me some stuff about it.
Amilia: But...it can't be...both of you are stronger than a pure DM Traveler after he first awakens...
Purple Sister: Regardless...We're here for you.
Black Sister: Look...I don't want to force you, but don't you think that you're taking this deal with Anza a bit too seriously? As Nepgear said, we don't have to fight.
Amilia: But i will...for Anza...i'll do anything...you have sister too right? You should know this feeling as much as i do!
Black Sister: Yes...I do love my sister...but if i ever felt obligated to fight a friend for her sake...i wouldn't do it!
Amilia: This is your answer then...We'll never walk the same path...
Then, she aims her Flower Breeze at the girls.
Amilia: Then i have no other choice but to erase these bonds...forever.
Black Sister: (But if you do so...you're going to suffer even more...)
Amilia: TAKE THIS! BUSTER X GUN!!!
She fires the same beam that was responsible for Barry's death.
Black Sister: Nepgear, you're still injured, let me take care of this.
Purple Sister: R-Right.
Black Sister: X-Multi Blaster!
Uni retaliates with her own beam. The clash of the attacks created a strong shockwave that shattered many windows.
Black Sister: (She's serious this time around.)
Amilia: (Urgh...Who would've know that she would be this strong? Normally when an Irregular awakens, they are weaker than a Level 1 Dimensional Traveler...but she...)
Amilia's beam is slowly being overwhelmed.
Amilia: (She's stronger than me...)
She cancels her attack and dodges to the side. She notices that Uni was close to her.
Black Sister: Amilia, hear me out!
Uni tries to reach out Amilia with her hand, but she gets swarmed by more familiars.
Amilia: (Urgh...these are my last ones...i have to make them count...)
Purple Sister: Uni...
Black Sister: I'll be fine...go after her...Now!
Despite her injuries, Nepgear flew as fast as she could, but at the moment she was about to touch Amilia's shoulder, she had to block a slash.
Purple Sister: Urgh...
Amilia: I know i can't win...so i have to escape as fast as i can.
Purple Sister: Amilia...listen...
Amilia: I don't want...to hear anything more from you...
Amilia continues to push, hoping that the pain from Nepgear's injuries would weaken her grip on her weapon.
Purple Sister: Argh...
Amilia: Yes!
She kicks Nepgear away, then, manages to open a portal.
Amilia: (Sister...they are going to be formidable adversaries... even my Guilt is not enough to stop them...so that's why i'm going to work hard so i can fight them...surelly, i'll master this power inside of me...and then...)
Nepgear recovers balance, only to notice that the portal closed.
Purple Sister: No...I..we were was so close...
Black Sister: Yeah...
Purple Sister: ...
Black Sister: Well...when you are in a better condition...we'll have a better chance.
Music: Holy Land
They landed on the building where Noel was waiting for them. Kael and Friday had arrived.
Kael: U-Uni?
Black Sister: Yes?
Kael: T-That form?
Black Sister: Oh this? Well, it seems we can acess Share Energy again.
Kael: That's impossible...unless...This World and yours got connected somehow.
Black Sister: Well...I still don't know much how the Multiverse works, so i'm counting on you to teach me.
Kael: Yes.
Purple Sister: Everyone...thank you.
Noel: Eh?
Friday: Even if the operation failed? (That and...i didn't do much...)
Purple Sister: Even still...thank you for your help...i'm sure that together, we can change Amilia's heart.
Black Sister: Well, you know i'll always help you out.
Friday: Y-Yeah...
Noel: Just helping a friend in need.
Bloody Grasslands
**Holy Land also playing here**
Hugh: Huh? Karin?
Karin: I knew it, you had the same idea.
Masaki: We just followed where Kuro's smell would lead us and bingo, there he is.
Sasha: He looks fine....in a sense that he's alive at least.
Sayaka: Alright, let's talk some sense into him...
Madoka: Wait everyone.
Masaki: W-What?
Madoka: Don't you think we should treat this situation with more care?
Sayaka: W-What do you mean? What there's more to approaching him?
Madoka: Don't you think he had a good reason to run away from the hospital.
Hugh: Now that you mention it... Seeing that he is okay, i think he tried his best to not get into any fights. He wouldn't be that reckless.
Sasha: So, what are you suggesting?
Madoka: Let's not go all at once. Let's first ask what is on his mind.
Sayaka: That's my Madoka, having such great ideas.
Rina: So...who's going?
Hugh: Well, of course, it's going to be m-
Madoka: Can i go there?
Hugh: EH? Why? I mean, you're just a recent friend and all...
Madoka: Please. I really want to talk to him.
Karin: Why not? Let her try. I mean, she had this idea.
Hugh: ...
Madoka: So?
Hugh: I'm leaving my friend with you.
Madoka: Thank you very much.
Sayaka: We'll be watching from here. Do your best.
Music: Ruined Celes
Madoka walks slowly at the boy. Looking around the landscape. She had a sad look on her face, thinking all what she was seeing was once a beautiful meadow. Once she gets closer, she takes a slow, deep breath and calls him out.
Madoka: There you are Mister Fael.
He takes a bit to reconize the voice.
Fael: Madoka...
Madoka: Y-You're okay, right?
He turns around to face her. Madoka notices that the bands covering his eye weren't there anymore. She saw that the scar over his eye had an unusual red color.
Madoka: ...
Fael: Sorry you had to see this...
Madoka: No...I don't mind.
Fael: But still...i'm going to turn around a bit.
Madoka: You can look to me face to face. I don't mind. Really.
Fael: ...
Madoka: All good. Now, i think you know this already, but everyone are worried about you.
He just nods. Aware of the trouble he's been causing.
Madoka: I'm not going to ask much...Can you come back with me?
Fael: I can't...
Madoka: But...
Fael: I...can't fight Seila...if i keep on protecting this city...surely...she'll cripple me...I want to fight...but how will i defeat her? She'll surelly will know that i'll try to get stronger...and she'll stop me...Not only that...
She could see his body trembling. He wanted more than ever to protect what he loves, but was conflicted whether he should or not.
Madoka: Fael...
Fael: Sorry...i can't go back...i really don't have a reason to...if everything is lost....I can't even use my powers properly anymore...
He shows the broken Excalibur to Madoka.
Fael: Just having willpower is not enough if i can't fight back...
Madoka: Yeah...i admit i don't have an answer for that...I'm not a fighter like all of you.
Madoka: But this isn't reason for you to be alone like this.
Fael: ...But...
Madoka: Let's go back...and then we can think of a solution together...there's always a way. It is at times like these that you need to be close to those you hold dear.
Fael: Madoka...
Madoka: Not everything is lost...So please come back with us.
Akina: Whoa! It looks like he's considering it.
Yukari: Stay quiet for a bit and pay attention. Now it will start.
Blanc: What will start?
Music: DAMON
Suddenly, some monsters have appeared in the Grasslands. They looked like a mix of a human body and the head of a crocodile, they also walked like wolves. However, instead of a skin, it looked like they were always covered in dark-fire. They quickly surrounded both Madoka and Fael.
Madoka: What?
Fael: Damn...
Hugh: These things...
Karina: (That face...does Hugh knows these mosnters?)
Sasha: So...we WILL have some action.
Rina: Yeah, let's kill these monsters quickly.
Sayaka: Don't worry, it will be over in a flash.
However, the monster were more quick than they anticipated. Some of them turned to fight the group, while the other ones charged at once at Madoka and Fael.
Madoka: AH!!!
Fael: I won't let you...
Using his broken Excalibur and his wooden sword, he managed to swat some monsters away, but both him and Madoka still got tackled by two that he couldn't hit in time.
Fael: Gah!
Sayaka: Fael! Madoka!
Fael: Not...yet...
He slowly got up, all the pain of his wounds flaring up, no matter if they were healed with magic, the pain was still there, making him weak.
Madoka: F...Fael...
Fael: I have to...overcome...this...Even if it's just for an instant...i will protect...
However, he wasn't fast enough.
Leaf: Master!!!
A monster tried to bite him from behind. Fael's sword suddenly dissapeared, making him fall over. He thought he was gone for good, but then, he looked behind.
Leaf: Argh...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
Madoka: !!!
Fael: Damn...LEAVE HER ALONE!
He used his wooden sword to hit the monster, making him release Leaf, unfortunately, the wound seemed fatal. Karin and Hugh started to fight the monsters off.
Leaf: Mas...ter...
Fael: Don't tell me...
Leaf: Yes...i was the voice inside you all the time...i'm the sword...of your heart...
Fael: ...
Leaf: You mistook the power of the sword as your own...that you forgot it is supposed to amplify your magic powers, not for you to use mine...As a result...i always died...only living again after you stopped using me constantly...
Fael: Then...why am i seeing you now?
Leaf: Because for once...you used your own powers...
He remembered that time at the Dream World, when he was able to use one of the Super Mode Powers with sucess.
Fael: I'm sorry...i'm so sorry...
Leaf: It's okay...i got to...meet you...and a lot of people...
Fael: You're going to live again right? Right?
Leaf: ...Everyone...watch over...him...
She just smiles, and then, she turns into light, returning to Fael's Soul.
Madoka: No...
Fael: Damn...If i had figured this sooner...
He punches the ground, calling himself stupid over and over while crying. Then, the same monster that attacked Leaf got up and went to attack again Fael and Madoka again.
Music: Everything in these hands
But he managed to punch it away, surprising everyone with the sheer strenght of the attack.
Sayaka: Whoa!
Fael: Dammed monsters...you finally were able to take something from me huh? Now guess what? I'm not the same defenseless kid from before, and i'll show it to you.
Fael's eyes were overflowing with tears of guilt and anger. His only desire right now was to obliterate the monsters that once again, threatened his life.
Yukari: I was waiting for this, Rachel, open a channel to his mind.
Rachel: Very well. (And, he's the third one.)
Fael suddenly, heard Yukari's voice in his mind.
Yukari: You finally learned your lesson huh?
Fael: IT DOESN'T MATTER NOW DOES IT?
Yukari: It does. It means you're ready for your next stage of growth.
Fael: What do you mean?
Yukari: I'll be blunt, you suck at magic.
Fael: Tell me something i don't know...
Yukari: But i discovered that your type of power is something else entirely, beyond magic, beyong psychic, beyond these dimensions.
Fael: Dimensions...
Yukari: Yes...What do you think of the idea of being able to be like Kael? A warrior that can break dimesions, a power that surpasses even mine...the power of a Dimensional Traveler. ((Although, as everyone noticed so far, Kael isn't broken like Suzaku, Midori and Lerafa.))
Fael: ...
Yukari: Yes, you have that in you, which is why you were never able to figure out that your powers were diferent from the sword.
Fael: So...you trained me wrong on purpose...
Yukari: You're half-right, you would normally use the sword like your father IF...i didn't interfere with your life. You should thank that monster attack for that.
Fael: ...
Yukari: I apologize for hiding it until now...but it was necesary...
Fael: For what? With your feud with the princess? Am i just some tool to you? Did Magio also get fooled by you?
Yukari: That's for you to decide... Right now, you need to live. Unleash the true power within you! The power of the one whose history was interfered with. The power of the outsiders...
Fael: Alright...I'll play your stupid game a bit longer...
Everyone feels the earth shaking, the monsters stopped on their track, Fael was increasing his energy to enoumous levels. His pain still flaring up, but he didn't care, he finally could control his own power instead of mistaking it for his sword.
If someone's history is interfered by an outsider, they'll be labelled as "The Interfered". They develop a slight portion of Dimensional Drive. Thus, if someone decided to estimulate that Drive, it will grow until the interfered's power awakens. Not only Fael, but Hugh and Marie are also capable of earning such powers. Nepgear and Uni to used such powers, due to Anza forcibly making them "Outsiders". However, that comes with a price...they lose the right to live at their world, due to the risk of distorting it with their powers.
Amilia, noticing she was at a good distance from the girls, decided to open a portal.
Amilia: I don't need them...I never will...
