Everyone divided up into team to see who would end out on top among every member of SEES. In a last second effort Kotone went against her heart and went along with her gut and mind as she joined Yukari and Metis. They stopped out into the area as Akihiko and Ken stepped forward.
"I was hoping to go up against Mitsuru's team first, but... Oh well." Yukari, Metis, Kotone, along with the help of Fuuka were facing Akihiko and Ken. "We'll see whose will is stronger!" Akihiko cried out. "If you don't take this seriously... You'll be hurt." Ken replied. Yukari felt bad for what she was about to do but she knew she didn't have any choice. "Jack Frost!" As Jack Frost hit Akihiko with Bufudyne he fell to the floor frozen. She then followed up with Maeigaon, which knocked Ken to the floor. In a swift strike Yukari bested her friends without getting attacked back. Yukari, Metis, Kotone, and Fuuka all walked past Ken and Akihiko grabbing their key as they looked up at them with sadness in their eyes.
As the four person team stepped through the next door they were met by Junpei and Koromaru who whimpered at seeing them. "...Sup? Well... I guess I can see what's going on." Junpei looked to the blood red sky as Metis spoke up, "No matter who our opponent is, I won't let them have Yukari's key. Not even my sister." Junpei sighed. "I know, I know. It's cool. But y'know, no matter which way this turns out... I just don't think Yuka-tan can win against Aigis right now. Sorry. Then again. I don't think Aigis' got it right, either. Even if we go back to before the final battle, if we're still squabbling like this... I dunno, do you really see us being able to pull off a miracle and do things better than he could?" Yukari thought on Junpei's words as he continued, "Me, I think this is somethin' we've gotta take care of on our own. I'm not at much of a hardass as Akihiko-san but... I don't think we should mess with the past. Still, some things you just can't work out by talking about 'em."
Fuuka and Kotone realized they were on the right side as Junpei's words struck a chord with them. He finished, "If neither side will give an inch, well, sometimes that's how things are gonna be. Right, little sis?" Junpei looked to Metis who was now thinking about what would happen next. "You better not throw this fight." Junpei said before they started the fight. Yukari called out to Junpei saying, "Junpei. You're right, we shouldn't mess with the past." The words hit Junpei as his attacks became weaker along with Koromaru's. Yukari and her team made sure not to injure Junpei badly. Koromaru and Junpei put up a good fight but just like Akihiko and Ken before them, Yukari showed her spirit was far stronger.
The final two enemies were soon standing before Yukari's team. Mitsuru said to Yukari, "Takeba... I wished things hadn't turned out this way. But Aigis is correct, we cannot just forget Makoto's sacrifice and let his power go to waste." Misturu and Aigis prepared for battle as Yukari, Metis, and Kotone readied themselves. The fight wasn't as difficult as Yukari thought as her use of Odin against Aigis striking her weakness and then using Orpheus to hit Mitsuru with fire led to a similar ending to Akihiko's fight. Mitsuru and Aigis were left on the floor as Yukari saw everyone return around her. "This is it... It's time for us all to return home." She said. As they walked to the very final door though they were stuck with fear at the door.
"Makoto-san?" Aigis said. Everyone was struck with fear as they saw their friend as a door. Yukari mustered the strength to use the keys on the door opening it as they entered. They saw the very miracle that brought them the remainder of their lives.
They saw Makoto facing the egg of Nyx as he raised his hand up before it all vanished. But before they could do anything a being of an amalgamation of shadows formed and attacked the team. Erebus the being which called to Nyx was now attacking the team. Yukari along with the help of Metis, Kotone, and Junpei faced the threat head on.
