Kajah: y-you look different.
Dark: indeed.
Kajah: r-right.
Dark: so I guess Alexander showed you how to come face to face with me. Your...inner self. Your final step to unlocking your hidden weapon.
Kajah: yah.
Dark: tell me Kajah. Why do you think i never told you anything about that?
Kajah: I-I don't know.
Dark: because I don't see you worthy enough of such a weapon. Not like your mother.
Kajah: what?
Dark: you...are still unsure of who and what your are. You feel as though you're falling others if you cannot help them now and then. Kajah you must know of what your looking for. Who you're fighting for and why.
Kajah: wh-what? I-I KNOW WHO AND WHAT IM FIGHTING FOR!!
Dark: do you? Because last time you lost yourself in your own sorrow.
Kajah:That's....
Dark: I refuse to teach you your final weapon.
Kajah:...But.
Dark: when you have found your reason then and only then will I help you.
Kajah: But...WE DONT HAVE TIME!!! I NEED TO KNOW THE WEAPON!!
Dark:...hmph very well. I can tell you the name beyond Oblivion your current weapon.
Dark holds out his right arm and opens his hand. A powerful light and dark energy overflows the air and Kajah feels enormous pressure with in the dome. The dome begins to crack and break from this enormous power.
Kajah: wh-what is this!
Dark: behold Kajah. The weapon you used and disgraced when you lost yourself. The weapon your mother named for peace and hope. THE NAME EVERYONE KNOWS AND LOOKS FOR!! UTOPIA!!!
In that moment Kajah saw the sword and was perplexed in amazement by its awesome power.
Dark: THIS IS ANOTHER LEGEND SWORD THAT NO ONE KNOWS OF DO TO ITS ORIGIN!! NOW!!! be gone...my friend.
Kajah: WAIT!!!
Dark in one swing of the sword completely destroyed the dome making the area disappear bringing Kajah back to the back of the mansion where everyone was waiting for him.
Rem: k-Kajah?
Alexander: something's wrong.
Kajah sitting looking at the ground in defeat begins to punch it out of anger.
Kajah: dam it dam it dam it...what...what did he mean...I didn't...I didn't know that sword had a name like that...I didn't intend to disgrace her...maybe...maybe I don't deserve the final version of Oblivion.
Subaru: Kajah.
Emilia: is...is he ok?
Felix:...he's...different...he doesn't seem like his old self.
Beatrice: (what happened in that dome?)
Emma: is...daddy ok mommy?
Rem: I-I'll go check on him.
Rem walks over to the kneeling Kajah.
Rem: K-Kajah? What happened?
Kajah: I-I wasn't able to obtain the swords finale form...i-i wasn't worthy.
Alexander: I see....the sword refused to show you. In doing so...he destroyed that dome with the final version of your sword.
Ram: how do you know this?
Alexander: it happened to me once.
Lunanie: yah...I remember that.
Subaru: seriously?! You?!
Alexander: yes. I maybe a demon lord to but I'm still not perfect. The feeling of being told what I lacked though...I understand how Kajah must feel. Subaru.
Subaru: y-yes?
Alexander: take note of this. Because this will happen to you to if you don't know what you want form your weapon. The Yin weapons are tools for you and you alone. If you lose your reasoning for the tool then why have it in the first place. Understand me boy?
Subaru: y-yes sir!
Alexander: good. Now then...we don't have time to try again so we will have to just deal with the current version of that combined attack you two made.
Subaru: you think it will be enough?
Alexander: yes. With a little bit of my power it will definitely work.
Lunanie: I could awaken Subaru's weapon temporarily Alex.
Alexander: no. That will take a lot of strength and will be to much on just you mother.
Lunanie: B-But-
Alexander: no buts. If Lith was to help you then yes but you know the situation with the others.
Lunanie:.....
Felix: Maybe Felix-Chan can help?
Alexander: you would die trying to attempt that. It's not for lesser beings.
Felix:....
Alexander: Sorry...anyway I must take you back now. Let's go Felix.
Alexander picks up Felix again and prepares to teleport him back to Crusch.
Felix: H-Hey!! S-Stop handling me like this!
Alexander: once I return we will discuss the rendezvous point with you and Kajah. Alright Subaru.
Subaru: Right
Alexander leaves with Felix.
Rem: Kajah...it's ok. We can still do this.
Kajah: it's...not just that Rem...it's what I was told...what I lack...what I did with my mother's sword when I wasn't myself...it's-its frustrating. I didn't have to fight him either.
Rem hugs Kajah hoping it will calm him down.
Rem: don't worry ok. I'll be by your side and support you still. You will get this figured out I know it.
Kajah: heh...th-thank you...Rem.
Lunanie: isn't that soo sweet.
Subaru: Lunanie.
Lunanie: Huh? Yes Subaru?
Subaru: what where you talking about earlier with awaking my weapon?
Lunanie: Ah yes that. Well there's a way to temporarily awaken your weapon to its final form. However doing is something that's normally done with two or more powerful high elves. I can do it myself but...it will definitely leave me unconscious for a while.
Subaru: I see.
Lunanie: Lith would be another high elf but, she isn't on the right path to help me.
Subaru: well...that's ok. If things go well then we can possibly get Lith on our side...maybe.
Lunanie: having all my children back would be the greatest thing in the world for me.
Kajah: and that's what we are gonna do.
Lunanie: Kajah?
Subaru: Kajah? You're up?
Emilia: are you feeling better?
Kajah:yah thanks to Rem I am. I'll figure out what I lack later. Now we have to prepare ourselves. No time to cry over something that's my fault.
Rem: Kajah.
Kajah: I know I Know it's not my fault but still. Anyway let's get ready to hear what Uncle has to say when he returns alright everyone?
Everyone nods in agreement and awaits for Alexander's return.
Subaru: so Kajah. What will you do now?
Kajah: well...I guess I need to think about what it is I'm lacking. I mean...I know who and what I want to protect. But...there's something I'm still unsure about.
Subaru: well...do you know what that is?
Kajah: it's...weather or not I want to be human or demon.
Subaru: what?
Kajah: that and to not have all this burden on me. That's what I was told.
Subaru: I see...(I wonder if I'll have the same problem. Hmmm I have to make sure I know what I want to.)
Rem: well Kajah I'm sure you will get it all figured out in no time.
Toru: yah he will!
Zephyr: hes our dad after all.
Emma: don't worry daddy we all believe in you!
Kiskue: there's no doubt he can and will get this figured out.
Rez: YEP! He's been able to make the impossible possible!
Mei: NYA~
Kajah: heh you guys. Thank you soo much
Rem: teehee.
Lunanie: Kajah...umm do you have a second?
Kajah: Huh? Sure grandma.
Lunanie hugs Kajah close with a loving embrace.
Kajah: Huh?
Emilia: she's doing her ability on him?
Subaru: Wait what are you doing?
Lunanie: Kajah...your...holding something in aren't you.
Kajah: what? Of course not.
Lunanie body begins to glow and the area becomes unable to be seen.
Rem: ah so bright..
Subaru: (this...light...it's like before)
All the kids are able to see yet they are mesmerized and feel safe and worry free.
Beatrice: wh-what is this? (Why...do I feel so heavy with emotions?)
Kajah begins to feel guilty and defeated.
Lunanie: Kajah...you have to forgive yourself...you can't keep holding on to this guilt. If you don't let go of this...you will never find peace with yourself.
Kajah: I...yah
Lunanie: good I'm glad you agree. Oh here.
Kajah: Huh? A ring?
Lunanie: mhm your mother and father's ring actually. It can split in two. I'm sure you will know what to do with them.
Lunanie stops glowing and everything is back to normal.
At the same time Alexander returns.
Alexander: Alright all the preparation are set. All of us will meet at the once Flugel Tree.
Subaru: there?
Rem: why there?
Alexander: because that's the area with the biggest space for a portal. The reason is my father also plans on awakening the gigantic demon he lives in.
Subaru: Wait what?!
Emilia: what demon let's others live in it?
Alexander: it's a demon that once belonged to Zigfreed. The remains of that demon are used for many things.
Subaru: this must have been some massive demon.
Alexander: indeed. a fortress with arms and a head basically.
Subaru: that...sounds bad.
Emilia: so...how did you find out?
Alexander: my brother told me. Thanatos said around the dead tree. that's where we will be departing tomarrow to set up camps and to meet up with everyone.
Lunanie: *gasp* Thani?!
Alexander: mhm.
Emilia: will Raswaal be there?
Alexander: no. I need Raswaal and Beatrice here at the mansion.
Beatrice: not like I can leave anyway.
Alexander: I will be leaving the children here under your care. Ram and Rem it's up to you if you want to stay or go.
Rem: I will go. I want to support Kajah and Subaru anyway I can.
Ram: I'll be joining to. I'll try my best to help anyway I can.
Alexander: very well. Emilia because you are the person in charge here so to speak. You will be there with Crusch, Priscilla, Anastasia, and Felt. We will discuss solder formations and groups. Emilia because you only have Kajah and Subaru as your main soldiers you will be with my mother supporting her if she needs anything.
Emilia: right.
Lunanie: I'm gonna be healing and supporting everyone ok?
Alexander: of course mother. Ideally I want to avoid any deaths but, I know better than anyone it will happen. In any case get what you're going to bring and get ready for war. We leave in the morning. Subaru and Kajah you two are with me.
Subaru: Right
Kajah: understood
Alexander: my father probably already knows I've truly betrayed him so I can no longer go back. Not until we win.
Emma: Uncle Alex?
Alexander: hm? Yes?
Emma: are you gonna be going away soon?
Alexander: yes but I'll be back. Same with your mom and dad. Your uncle Subaru to.
Rez:...y-you better come back.
Kajah: Rez.
Rez: you all better come back ok? Subaru: of course we will Rez.
Rem walks over and gives Rez a gentle hug.
Rem: we would never leave you all. We will come back we promise.
Rez returns the hug to Rem sulking a little.
Rez: everyone...here...you are all my family.
Emilia: Rez...
Lunanie: awww little Rez don't worry. Your mother is telling you the truth. We will return for all of you.
Rez: a-alright...
Rez looks up at Rem.
Rez: mom....
Rem: yes?
Rez: thank you for letting call you my mom.
Rez hugs Rem again smiling and feeling comfortable with her.
Kajah: heh...(what I want to protect huh...I wonder if...it's more than just the ones I care for?)
