Darren POV:

My eyes widened as my hands started to tremble, Lucas summoned his scythe while Yuko summoned Excalibur and Excalibur Morgan while still in his Ishtar armor.

Darren: No... Mio Takamiya...

That's right. Takamiya Mio, a Spirit wearing a pristine Astral Dress, had unexpectedly appeared here. To be precise, it can be said that her attire was slightly different than before. While only one was lit up previously, now all ten stars behind her were shining brightly.  All of us had a surge of silence and we prepared for the worst, Shido and I were the first ones to respond.

Darren/Shido: Everyone...

Following our words, Mio simply raised her hands, then, each beautiful Sephira Crystal appeared from the ten shining stars on her back.

Darren: Everyone... Kurumi... Mukuro... Tohka... Miku...

My head started to turn, Shido just stared at Mio unbelievably both of us knew that the sephira crystals behind Mio can mean only one thing. All of the spirits... were dead.

Darren: A-ah...

My words didn't make it time as a sash came straight for my head while Yuko grabbed my collar and threw me aside. Even though I grasped the situation, despair invaded my mind and eroded my body. It infiltrated my field of vision, causing even my fingertips to tremble. It was difficult to even stand up.

Mio: Preparations are complete, Darren, and Shin.

My body just didn't even respond, same with Shido's body, a sinister feeling crept up my back as shadows started to swallow me.

Mio: Let's be together forever, Darren Satoru, Shin.

-Inside Mio's body-

3rd person POV:

Swaying and swaying, that's how Kurumi Tokisaki has been feeling for the past hour, she couldn't tell which way she was swaying, it was a space where one couldn't tell where was up or down. The sensation of swimming in lukewarm water, the invasive feeling of being sucked into darkness, was a mysterious state of coexistence.

Kurumi: (Where is this...? Where's, Darren...?)

There was the feeling of a lack of ownership in one's own body. A sense of incompatibility where the slightest hint of carelessness would cause a person's hands and feet to dissolve into this world. 

Kurumi: (That's right... I failed...)

She started to close her eyes, but something inside her rejected the feeling of allowing her to go to sleep, it made her eyes shoot out wide open as something started to whisper inside her ear.

???: (Wake up, Kurumi Tokisaki, my liege is waiting for your return. If you want to sleep and give up, then I suppose that's fine as well.)

Kurumi didn't say anything but her sleepiness was washing away while her sensation returned back to her hands and feet. But on the contrary, this awakening only severed to highlight the peculiarity of this space. She looked around, but nothing can be seen, she remembered that she died to Mio Takamiya, she wasn't even a matchup for her. 

Kurumi: (Where is this place...?)

She just looked around yet saw nothing, it was just emptiness. But, there was a certain intelligence here. While barely able to control her body in an irritated manner, Kurumi moved toward the direction of where the voice originated.
