Description
Fujiko smiled and hugged her close, just holding her for a bit. "I.... I don't know what to say. That was probably... the most heartfelt thing I have ever heard! I... I love you too! I just wish I were someone closer.. or more useful to our fight. Might be something to try again.... But... for now.... Just knowing that you are safe is all I need..."

Looking around at the others, the teacher sighed, through the vision around them was a bnit blury without her glasses. "Maybe we should see if we can clean up at least one or two of your family. More purifying would help us save more people..."

Smiling as the eyesight of her new girlfriend looked bad, Yuka gave her a kiss on the cheek before returning her the glasses. Removing the dirt on her clothes, Yuka looked around, staring at all these relatives down there.

"I'm glad they are safe, I have so much to live with them yet"

Though, the purple hairs looked away, feeling this intense shadow energy gathered above Tokyo.

"The only ones remaining are the Okashira and Mizu. I hope that Lenna nee-san is okay...maybe we should go to my house and check how she is doing, we could take a good rest over there too, bringing our friends in safety"

Having the glasses back on brought her vision back, whicch made her frown and pout her plush lips. "Pity I wear glasses, those are going to be tough to keep on in a fight......"

Looking to Yuka, then around at the others,. Nodding softly, she slowly took a few steps, once again in the heels she always loved wearing. "Yes, I agree. You need rest, Aina needs it more. We should regroup. Though I hope they aren't there waiting for us. Maybe they are too confident they one to try something there....."

Teleporting everyone into her old home, Yuka made sure to make no noise. Nothing seemed to have changed here, everything in the same set up than before and no one around. Taking a long breath, the purple hairs let herself fall onto the most comfy couch and started to snore, almost falling asleep out of nowhere. If the inner appartment looked similar, it was different outside. The sky of Tokyo was now red like in the Demon World, composed of some black clouds here and there, giving a kind of end of the world feeling. Fujiko could witness the new huge tower that has appeared in the most notorious district of the city.

"This is the headquarter of the Shadowians, everything has changed since you were away"

Turning on the TV, Yuka did not say a word, just putting on a continue TV news channel. The whole program was dedicated to the glory of the Shadowians, of the new cult that has implanted into Japan, the whole country being now isolated from the other parts of the world, belonging fully to the clan. Every inhabitants have turned into Lind's believers and all japanese are working hard to find Yuka for the awakening of their Goddess.

Fujiko/Andrew was spengind her time slowly placing the various bodies of Yuka's friends and familes in comfortble seats to rest till they wake. Then she sighed and turned to the TV, frowning.

"This is just sad. And wrong. But we''ll handle this. We will save these people and finally st this world and your life back on the track of light. If onyl I hadn't lost Robelu, her power might have been able to suppres much of this, being Lind's superior. Oh well. Its an uphill battle, but I believe we ccan do it."

Crossing her legs, Yuka sighed : "Only 2 more to go...might be harder than for Hayato and Kaito but we can do it, right ?" she smiled lovely to the black hairs. At this moment, the others woke up one by one, shocked to see the purple hairs back. Unlike what happened in the other timelines, Yuka gladly welcame them, enjoying this moment and smiling more than she ever has...until Setsuko opened her eyes, dizzy and confused, having the mixed body created by Mizu before they swapped...looking to the other people, the teenager girl noticed the TV program and kneeled respectfully in front of the leading figure of the shadowians, the Okashira, the old woman having inhabit Rina's body since some time now.

Fujiko stared as.. .Setusko knelty down before the TV as it showed all the propoganda, as well as the okashira. looking over to the others, then abck to Setsuko, she frowned. "Um... Are we going to.. be able to handle this? i seems like this is beyond the normal brainwashing...."

The Magica Club members explained their own cases, how they felt and thought during their time as shadowian's minions until they have been freed from this brainwash. It can be defeated, it is basically a spell spread by the magic of Lind that is present into the tower, that building being used to broadcast it on the whole island. Standing, the purple hairs pointed Fujiko.

"Come with me, you will need clothes more suited for fights, we will take some from oka-san in her room"

Fujiko sighe.d She could only hope that they would be fully free of its influence. Then... suddenly, Uka poitn to her and she stared. Wear. Setsuko's... ccombat clothes? Eh? This was embarrassing... and kind of exciting.

"Really? me? Are we the same size? I mena, it wa smy mother for so long.. I um.. Not much of a fighter like this. Are you sure it is ok?"

Grabbing Fujiko and putting her against the wall of the door, the purple hairs frown.

"What now ? Just because you are a simple woman you don't want to fight anymore ? You prefer to send them all back into the shadowians claws ?!" she groaned, pointing their friends "There is no way it will work, they are too weak for this mission ! It will be just the 2 of us, we don't need anyone else, right ?"

Fujiko stared at Yuka, surprised by ehr sudden change in demeanor.

"Look, I'm a scholar, not a warrior! But sorry, I didn't think you would react so badly. But Yuka, I never said anything about backing down. Or making them fight. Are you ok?"

She sighed softly. "Maybe we can, but we need to be smart. I only have access to Melissa and Aelys now, so the time I can fight is reduced. So we need to move and act smart."

Calming down a bit, Yuka nodded. Surely all this pressure as the last fight is coming was making her nervous.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to wear any fighting clothes. Sorry about that Fujiko-chan, I...I worry about you, in this kind of battles any detail can make the difference..."

Fujiko sighed softly and press off the wall, gently pulling Yuka into a hug.

"It's ok, its ok. I understand. I'll wear some combat outfit if it helps. No worries. We are so close,. I can understand getting nervous. This is your life, your friends, your family...."

Hugging back, Yuka softly nodded, waiting a bit before delivering a kiss to her girlfriend. Keeping their hands together, the purple hairs displayed a more fightful expression.

"We must target the Okashira, inside Rina's body she is kinda weak. If we manage to seal her too, the whole brainwash will crumble for sure !"

Fujiko nodded quickly, adjusting her glasses gently.

"I understand. Cutting off the head of a snake is the best plan. We can't fight an army and have any sort of strength left over. So, I agree. We just need a plan."

"We need to get close to the Okashira, to pretend to be one of them to strike".

Yuka then looked at the middle-aged, merging with her. Having now Yuka's face, Fujiko put back her glasses, looking almost alike she uses to then turn her own clothes to the trademark leotard.

"We can walk to the tower, it's not far away" she claimed, piloted by Yuka, before jumping by the window of the room, landing quietly into the street. All over them, the inhabitants were living like of nothing were to happen but when seeing the new outfit of the japanese, they all praised her, like a heroine.

"Only a few selected are allowed to wear this, like a personnal guard. This is simple but should work."

Moving on, the teacher met no difficulties, reaching the entrance of the tower where 2 bulky guys let her come in. Yuka magic signature is so high, only a chosen one can emit such a level. Once in front of the elevator, she stopped.

"Wouldn't it more quiet from the upstairs ?...But with our heels it might kill out feet !"

Sighing softly, she had felt so strange not having contorl of her body. but seeing ti was Yuka, she made no fuss about it. Instead, once they were in, she look to the elevator, then the stairs.

"As I had merged with Fujiko... I am quite used to it. She wears them whenever she can. It helps her look more elegant and proffessional. We should be able to handle it, and avoid alerting them all... if we try the stairs. Could always slip them off if we need to."

Yuka mocked Fujiko, imagining her running feet naked to the top of the tower but if the teacher was so confident about it why not ? This detour allowed them to avoid having to confront with the actual Ririka and Yoshie, as well as some of Yuka's high school classmates that have been occupying the first floor levels where they know learn the principles of the Goddess "Milo" aka Lind. Reaching the 16th floor, Fujiko body would have started to tire but due to the merge she has become a bit more atletic, getting back the energy of her youth when she used to have good grades in long-term running. Though, as they were close to the top, another trial came on their way : Ayana, the mother of Aina and Aiko.

"Going somewhere ?" she groaned, making a move with her arm that created a powerful wind embodied with Holy magic, splitting Yuka and Fujiko. Once the purple hairs was out of that body, the middle-aged woman grabbed the teacher's arms, tying them with her new shadow energy, blocking all of her moves. "Bringing this weakling was your mistake Yuka, what will you do now ? You know that your magic powers can't match mines"

Fujiko gasped as she split! She wasn't expecitng them to STILL be using holy magic. And were it not for Yuka, she would have surely been blasted aside. Biting her lip, she looked to Yuka, then back to Ayana. If only the spirit of Andew merged with one of the more capable fighters...

Still, she moved cloe to Yuka, frowning. "If we can distract her...I can rush her as Aelys...."

All of a sudden, the gorgeous figure turned into the young and powerful Aelys, dissipating the magic spell that was tying her wrists together. As she was ordering Yuka to give up and offering her body to Lind, stunned, Ayana looked confused to the shapeshifter, allowing Yuka to freeze her feet to prevent her auntie to move an inch. It was the perfect opening for the famous smashes of Aelys...

And smash she did! Aelys was not one for stratwgy or planning. so did what she did best. She hit Ayana with enough power to knock her unconccious. The only bit she held back was to avoid killing her.

Once she saw she was down, she would turn back, hoping to save what time she could for the other forms.

Ayana weakness was her lack of resistance against the physical attacks. This punch almost broke her jaw and the impact of her head against the rail of these stairs could have killed her in one blow if she had not been enhanced by the shadow magic. The access to the last floor was now wide open but Yuka looked silent to her auntie lying there. If only she could master the magic of Setsuko or Ayana, they would not fear anymore those Shadowians...grinding her teeth, the purple hairs followed her future niece and together they met the last boss in front of a totem of crystal : the Okashira ! Displaying Rina's face, she turned with surprize to this unexpectated duo.

"You ?! How did you manage to come here ? What about Kaito and Hayato ?! The 2 of them should have defeated you already !"

Staring and gripping her hands tightly, she raised a fist. "They weren't enough, and now we'll set things straight! You'll pay for trying to take over the world!"

Unfortunately, Aelys was still the assumed persona, so she just burst forward, eager to use her speed, power, and durability to smash the Okashira until Yuka could come up with a plan.

It was so fast, surely too much reckless. Even Yuka had no idea that her girlfriend would rush forward without thinking. So the body is taken the upper hand on the mind when shapeshifting...the hits landed, the Okashira was not damaged much as her body was recovered by the shadow magic acting like a shield. Though some bruises could be seen on her body totally not adapted for a fight. Trying to counter attack with some straight blasts, she then stepbacked and chanted a spell that created some geysers of flames, smashing Aelys' body against the ceiling. Furious of this move, Yuka came closer, slapping together the cheeks of the blue hairs before spreading ice on her whole face. Unable to see or hear much, the leader of the Shadowians hit randomly, panicking, missing her targets. Protecting herself with some shields of ice, Yuka jumped further.

"Hey hey ! Where are you hitting ? I'm here !!"

Out of herself, the Okashira, still limited in sight, thrown a huge blast that the purple hairs planned to throw back but she has not noticed the Okashira's shadow that was under her feet...coming out of the roof to impale her in the chest...now the wave of shadow magic will finish her off...

Injured by the surprise attack, the body of Aelys landed on the ground. It wasn't too bad, but she certainly felt it. Staring at the scene below her though, she could see that Yuka took a heavy blow! Worried, she fought through the spell and kicked off the cieling, forming a clone Melissa to push Yuka away while she begna to charge as much of Aely's ki as she could to form a blast to combat the magical wave! She needed to at least save Yuka and get her out of here! They could try again later when she healed, but if she was lost this was all lost!

The duel between the girl from the future timeline and the main priestess of the Shadowians was intense. After putting Yuka out of danger, doll Melissa came back to join the effort as her mistress wanted to. Together they took the lead and repelled the massive energy gathered that exploded at the face of the Okashira. A part of her leotard have burnt at the impact, heavily hit, she kneeled, unable to rise her head anymore.

"That...that's impossible...these powers...are out of this existence...who...who are you..."

Not leaving, the Melissa's doll put her body between Aelys and the Okashira to make sure that no last blow would be landed by surprize.

Glaring at the defeated Okashira, Aelys stomped over and grabbed at her clothes, pulling her up to her eye level to glare deeply at her. "I am Aelys... and others. I was summoned to fix the anomaly you were making, that could damage too many worlds. And I am here to stop you however I need to, to fix this timeline. Yuka's timeline." Gritting her teeth, she punched the Okashira, aiming to KO her for a long time till They could chek on Yuka and dispel what needed to be dispelled.

As the punched rained, the Okashira's shadow magic was starting to fade away, she could not do anything but to focus on her defense, unable to counter-attack. The moment of glory was so close, she had never thought that an attack could occured today, beside all the security measures, none of them could be applied today as no one could imagine this situation to happen. At some point, the representative of Lind for decades, had to leave Rina's body, the teenager girl falling into the arms of Yuka that sighed of relief.

"It has been a long time huh ?" she stated, hugging the body of her friend tightly.

Fujiko or Aelys could have pity for the Okashira that was none other than an old, decrepit woman, whose life has been spoiled by the shadow magic. Begging for her life, she prays as strong as she could for a miracle when loud scream can be heard, a young woman coming out of nowhere, kicking her out of the building, making her fall from the top of the tower. The long complain of the shadowian could be heard by everyone in the building while Myria joyfully appeared to her sister and future daughter with a large smile.

"Yay ! No more villains around !!"

But as Yuka lectured her for this silly act that lead to the death of a human being, Myria arguing she was closer to a yokai, all the girls were suddenly immobilized, a kind of shining spider-web appearing under their feet, sticking them to the ceiling before a high-voltage spread into their spines.

"You....How dared you to do that to our boss ?! You deserve an intense torture !!"

This voice...was the one of Setsuko...or at least it was...as the figure of the motherly woman has been stolen since some time by the last warrior of the shadowians, also their champion : Mizu the kunoichi.

Aeyls was Not ready for the kick to send the Okashira flying. She could only stare at the younger version of her mother....

Still, the shaows all across the land would surely weaken. For now, She just needed to tend to Yuka before the transformation wore off..... Suddenly, a dark web grabbed them all, pulling them up to the ceiling!?

Crap! Right! Hearing Setsuko's voice.... Mizu! Of course she was still aorund here! In a hurry, Andrew dissipated the Melissa clone and turned from Aelys back to his new, true form..... that of Fujiko. She refused to give Even more powerful body parts to Mizu if she could help it, even if she was now jsut a very curvy teacher. "This is bad.... anyone have a plan?"

"I have planned to kick her away too but I can't !" groaned Myria.

"You can't stop being dumbed for once ?!"

The sisters continued to argue, showing their tongues one after the other like kids while Mizu looked at them with anger, frowning. Coming first to Fujiko, the shadowian has been witness of her current shapeshift power. If that teach former was useless, the 2 other ones that can pop out of nowhere were another story. Grabbing Fujiko's jaw in her palm, the middle-aged woman stated :

"Your powers are the same than his...are you actually Deus ?"

Deus...the forbidden name ! That being that is the father of Yuka and Myria, the one that granted this shapeshift power to Andrew before and allowed him to become stronger throughout the timelines ! Of course Mizu knew, as she has stolen everything about Setsuko, having memories of the japanese with her former lover !!

The curvy teacher glared at Mizu as she step up in that familiar shape, glaring through clenched teeth and her glasses as assassin got closer. "No, I am NOT Deus. I was merely empowered by him to rectify this rotten timeline. You won't succeed any of the ideas you are forming in your stolen head."

Frowning even more to learn that Deus was indeed part of this plot, Mizu started to fear that this old man would point his nose to save his fellow daughters and henchwoman. Thinking speechless, she turned to the statue of crystal, rising her head to its top. The Okashira was supposed to be the only one able to perform the ritual to transplant Lind's soul into Yuka's body, though with her powers acquired through Setsuko's body and mind, the kunoichi could perform it too. Unable to hit her own daughters, especially her beloved Yuka, Mizu slapped violently Fujiko, making her fall, standing immobilized on the roof. Has it focused her attention too much ? Unexpectatly, Myria rushed in, punching strongly the imposter before Yuka reacted first, throwing some pillars of ice to the warrior. Though a single blow from her arm destroyed them and took over Myria high in the sky before she smashed her head against the roof.

"Stupid kids, I have not only the Holy abilities or the Shadow abilities but also the strenght and magic of the best shadowians. Even by combining your lowly powers you are no match for me" turning to Fujiko, she then grinded her teeth. "Talking about powers...I will get rid of this annoying shapeshifting skill of yours. Not that I fear any surprize attack coming from you too but I need to prevent any move from Deus here". Putting her hand onto Fujiko's forefront, the shadowian performed an exorcism, extracting the forms of Melissa, Aelys and even the one of Yuka ! Making the 3 kneeling in front of her before using her special move, adding to herself their strongest body parts ! In an instant the body of Setsuko transformed again, Mizu inheriting of Aelys right arm and hand, Melissa's legs, the pink boots taking place onto her legs while Yuka long hairs became her own. This done, Mizu made a move with her head, having pleasure to display her new haircut to her guest, amazed.

Bleeding at the forefront, Myria could not understand what was happening but she hated this fake Setsuko, she was not her mother and never would Setsuko do such a thing. Managing to move a bit, she screamed of pain as the pressure on her body became tighter, the abilities of the 3 dolls having increased the power of Mizu.

"Are you mocking my powers ? There is no way you can stand" shouted the shadowian.

But against all the foreplans, Myria could, standing again, even if unable to make a single step.

Setsuko gasped! no.. without those forms, Fujiko was jsut too weak to help! And wiht her overwhelming power... having taken even the strength of Aelys in, there was little hope! As the teacher lay there barely able to move, she could only look around. This was bad... this was very bad. Everyone was down. Myrai was barely able to stand. This was turning into the worst case!

Pissed to see Myria resisting to her grisp, Mizu came forward, standing in front of her "daughter".

"Stop insisting, you can't break my spell" but these words made Myria smile, succeeding in rising her leg a bit. "You have always been dumb but even these words are too hard to understand ? JUST GIVE UP !"

"No !"

As Myria managed to make a single step, Mizu, out of herself, slapped her harshly. Turning to Fujiko, Yuka wanted to try something, to say something, but she feared to be spotted by Mizu. As the shadowian was slapping the purple hairs again, some voices reached them. It was the Magica Club members !! Kono, Mika, Tira, even Rina ! Aina and Aiko were there as well, holding their mother with their shoulders to support her ! These reinforcements lighted up the hearts of the 3 fighting Mizu but the warrior get rid of them all by forming a wave of energy thanks of Aelys' arm, thus the ones still able to move were turned to ice statues due to the stolen Yuka's ice magic...suddenly grinning, Mizu used Melissa's legs to kick several times the belly of Myria, making her strip, but as the shadowian was out of balance, Myria suddenly dashed, delivering a powerful punch into Mizu's face. This part has not been enhanced ! Surely her weakness !! Using her magic to boost her twin's athetic abilities, the little witch broke free of the spell, coming to deliver Fujiko too !

"How do you feel ?! We don't have time, we are fortunate that Myria's body adapt to the power of the opponent ! By stolen these body parts she has just turned Myria stronger ! Alas, I fear it won't be enough !"

Fujiko groaned, standing up with the help of Yuka. Her nearly middle-aged body was not trained, and not suited to this. And with all those forms removed, she truly was just a completely normal human. However, she held Yuka tight.

"I am fine. I just wish I could help more. But I am so proud of you. Don't forget that. We can do this, we jsut need to think of a plan while Myria keeps her busy. If only there was something I could do to help....but enough of that. All your friends and family are here, we can do this

Holding thightly her girlfriend's hand, Yuka frown :

"We better not try to help them, I know it sounds harsh but Myria won't last long against Mizu, we have to try something else !"

As saying so, she turned her head toward the crystal statue...maybe if they can break it the soul of the alien would perish and the shadowian would lose their powers ?!

Seeing where Yuka was looking, Fujiko nodded. the teacher was on the same page.

"Let's find a way to break it. Even if you need to toss me at it"

Yuka laughed at this idea even if she would have prefered to toss Myria against it but the screams of pain of her twin convinced Yuka to change her mind. As the 2 approached the crystal figure, this one looked incredibly strong and heavy.

"Grumpf, how did they even managed to bring it here ?"

Checking any weakness into the material, the duo could hear a voice talking into their mind, it was Lind, the alien from outerspace ! If Fujiko has already heard her in the timeline of the Time Patrol, for Yuka it was the first time and the purple hairs was impressed by this strong will.

"Finally here my vessel ! How long I have been waiting for this ! Mizu, performs immediatly the ritual !!"

"Ah ! Yes mistress !"

But this moment of low guard allowed Myria to launch a combination of kicks and punchs onto the kunoichi. Time was short, Yuka proposed to use her ice magic to slide it out of the building so it would crash in the street like the Okashira before. This idea worried Lind that urged her last minion to transfer her mind into Yuka quickly, though the fight was not over yet. Entering in action, Yuka did not notice that, while she was preparing a runway to put in apply her plan, the shadow of Lind emerged from the statue, turned to Fujiko.

"This woman is weak, can be used as a vessel"

It was time for Fujiko and Lind to be reunited once more...the shadow about to integrate the middle-aged woman.

Eyes wide, Fujiko knew that voice well. And she knew that if anything, she needed to keep Yuka away from her. Looking over to the purple haired girl, she frowned.

"Yuka, I'm sorry about this. But I can't let her have you, she is in the statue."

Concerned, Fujiko pushed Yuka away, leaving herself to be the only target of Lind. Hopefully, her weak self could limit Lind's powers and help hold her off till they found a way to win. Maybe even having had them once might help her keep them in check.

The black leotard took form onto Fujiko's body, wrapping her skin into that thight sexy leather. Indeed the body was weak but enough for the alien to block Myria a bit. Though the shadow wave coming out of her hand was...devastating ! Blowing Myria's away, ejecting her from the building ! Yuka jumped desperatly to save her sister with a bridge of ice, allowing the purple hairs to return with an acrobatic. Lind was looking to her hand, speechless and grinned. That Fujiko was a dimension traveller, during her pilgrimage she has met and mastered Lind's powers, those of Robelu too, they were not gone, just dorming into this soul...

"AWESOME ! EVEN BETTER THAN YUKA ! FROM NOW ON YOU ARE MINE !!"

Lind had no more need for the ritual, she engraved herself into Fujiko's body, becoming one with the entity lying inside. All of a sudden a violent wind of shadow spread all over Japan again, cancelling Mizu's skill, turning her back into her old form, like everyone, including those turned to ice statues. As everyone woke up from the spells, all opened wide their eyes as they were now all wrapped into the black leotard outfit, including all the males, Yuka and Myria. Lenna that has just showed up to heal her sisters was also stuck into her new uniform, worried of the meaning of this. As she rose her head, Fujiko made everyone of her new minions gathering in front of her, kneeling. Fujiko was now the owner of this country, the owner of these people, having acquired the powers of Lind. She has to make a choice now, to keep Lind's powers and start a new life as the Goddess of this world or fighting Lind at the risk to die with her...

Fujiko/Andrew could have NEVER foreseen this happening. It seemed that her time merged with the demons.. amplified her potential and compatibility with them! In no time at all, Lind's powers dwarfed that of Yuka's. This was terrible! And in moments, a sort of worst case scenario happened!

With all this new power, the whole country quickly fell under her sway as she merged into the being with her host! no, she was being taken over by a demon again! Thankfully, having experienced it with Robelu, Fujiko was doing her best to fight back! Sure, she could accept becoming one with Lind and ruling everyone. but this was a false rule, and eventually Deus would involve himself again and end it. Besides, it would hurt those she met and came to care for, as well as abandong her task! So she chose to fight and resist, hoping to wrest some mild contorl from Lind!

This internal struggle between the demon inside Fujiko, that wanted to lead the world and the humans against her human soul wishing to live peacefully among her friends, generated a powerful tornado that blew away everyone, some hardly standing on their feet while the others had to grab something to end up off the roof like the Okashira. At some point even the black clouds in the sky concentrated above Fujiko that had her shadow becoming massive, reaching the sky, smashing the crystal statue were Lind was sealed for so long. Mizu proposed to give a hand to the demon, targetting Myria, Yuka and Setsuko again to steal their body parts, but this time the mother was faster, breaking the kunoichi arms before sealing her alongside Kaito and Hayato. Gathering, the girls helped Lenna to stand when the wind stopped and the air became quieter. The red sky was gone, the black clouds too, everything seemed back to the state it was when the Shadowians were still a hidden cult.

"Is this over ?" asked Lenna.

"Already ? I wanted to give a hand, I mean a punch" frown Myria.

"Fujiko ? Are you alright ?" dared to ask Yuka, slowly approaching her girlfriend that rose softly her head, the eyes shining a bit.

The woman slowly sat up, groaning as she slowly faught her way to a seated position. Fujiko.... she was Fujiko, right? Yea.... That whole thing wiht Lind... merging into her. She felt off, confused, and tired. She weakly smiled, unsure if she had merely tamed this, sealed it, or jsut bought time. Was she Lind? wholly, partially? Oh well.. looking around, the statue was shattered.. the sky bright and blue.... and the outfits gone.

"Did.... we win?"

Everyone was back to normal, including Fujiko but how to be sure ? Percing the silence, a clap resonnated....DEUS !! The mysterious man wrapped in his cape smiled :

"You have ! Congratulation for this amazing job. The timelines are saved, the world is out of danger and, more important, my precious Yuka can now life a happy teenagerhood"

As the people around her were stunned or wondering who was this moustached man, the little witch nodded before running into the arms of her father. So did Myria, rushing, and Lenna, moved, doing her best not to cry. The 3 sisters hugged thightly their father, making Setsuko frowning, but she knew how her daughters missed their father. The Magica Members then were allowed to surround Yuka, enjoying the return of their friends, the team being complete again !! Looking at each other before sighing, Setsuko and Ayana were now in peace with each other. They turned to Fujiko, their savior and asked, in the same timing :

"And now ? What are you going to do ?"

Sitting up and looking at them all, she smiled. "I can't believe we did it.... I.. I don't know. I thought Deus would send me home, or give em a new life here.... but if not... I suppose I'll remain here, as Fujiko. More of my spirit is now hers than my original, after all."

Rebuilding the village of the Sakura Blossom will take some time, all the retainers of Lind have been captured and no one remembered much why they were so fond of this outerspace creature. Back to the high school to finish their school year, the members of the Magica Club could not help but smile each time their teacher and friend Fujiko was giving them a lesson. After school, Yuka used to rejoin her girlfriend, both kissing secretly far from the sights. Their love was strong and so was their bond, sharing some common tastes beside the gap in age. Due to the new peace, only Lenna will move to France. Myria will soon rejoin her when learning that they have a half brother living oversea. Not interested, Yuka prefered to remain at Tokyo and look for a way for her mother to accept this relationship, maybe with the help of her father Deus ? Losing her other forms and even forgetting bit by bit her male past, Fujiko will enjoy this new life until one day they will adopt a little american boy named Warren...but this is another story.

END

-----------------------

So here ends this story that has been 2 years long ! A special thanks to Andrew for his help to develop my universe and timelines through his journey into the Myriaverse ! Maybe in the future I will adapt some contents of these stories or make another game, we never know

Description
Fujiko smiled and hugged her close, just holding her for a bit. "I.... I don't know what to say. That was probably... the most heartfelt thing I have ever heard! I... I love you too! I just wish I were someone closer.. or more useful to our fight. Might be something to try again.... But... for now.... Just knowing that you are safe is all I need..."

Looking around at the others, the teacher sighed, through the vision around them was a bnit blury without her glasses. "Maybe we should see if we can clean up at least one or two of your family. More purifying would help us save more people..."

Smiling as the eyesight of her new girlfriend looked bad, Yuka gave her a kiss on the cheek before returning her the glasses. Removing the dirt on her clothes, Yuka looked around, staring at all these relatives down there.

"I'm glad they are safe, I have so much to live with them yet"

Though, the purple hairs looked away, feeling this intense shadow energy gathered above Tokyo.

"The only ones remaining are the Okashira and Mizu. I hope that Lenna nee-san is okay...maybe we should go to my house and check how she is doing, we could take a good rest over there too, bringing our friends in safety"

Having the glasses back on brought her vision back, whicch made her frown and pout her plush lips. "Pity I wear glasses, those are going to be tough to keep on in a fight......"

Looking to Yuka, then around at the others,. Nodding softly, she slowly took a few steps, once again in the heels she always loved wearing. "Yes, I agree. You need rest, Aina needs it more. We should regroup. Though I hope they aren't there waiting for us. Maybe they are too confident they one to try something there....."

Teleporting everyone into her old home, Yuka made sure to make no noise. Nothing seemed to have changed here, everything in the same set up than before and no one around. Taking a long breath, the purple hairs let herself fall onto the most comfy couch and started to snore, almost falling asleep out of nowhere. If the inner appartment looked similar, it was different outside. The sky of Tokyo was now red like in the Demon World, composed of some black clouds here and there, giving a kind of end of the world feeling. Fujiko could witness the new huge tower that has appeared in the most notorious district of the city.

"This is the headquarter of the Shadowians, everything has changed since you were away"

Turning on the TV, Yuka did not say a word, just putting on a continue TV news channel. The whole program was dedicated to the glory of the Shadowians, of the new cult that has implanted into Japan, the whole country being now isolated from the other parts of the world, belonging fully to the clan. Every inhabitants have turned into Lind's believers and all japanese are working hard to find Yuka for the awakening of their Goddess.

Fujiko/Andrew was spengind her time slowly placing the various bodies of Yuka's friends and familes in comfortble seats to rest till they wake. Then she sighed and turned to the TV, frowning.

"This is just sad. And wrong. But we''ll handle this. We will save these people and finally st this world and your life back on the track of light. If onyl I hadn't lost Robelu, her power might have been able to suppres much of this, being Lind's superior. Oh well. Its an uphill battle, but I believe we ccan do it."

Crossing her legs, Yuka sighed : "Only 2 more to go...might be harder than for Hayato and Kaito but we can do it, right ?" she smiled lovely to the black hairs. At this moment, the others woke up one by one, shocked to see the purple hairs back. Unlike what happened in the other timelines, Yuka gladly welcame them, enjoying this moment and smiling more than she ever has...until Setsuko opened her eyes, dizzy and confused, having the mixed body created by Mizu before they swapped...looking to the other people, the teenager girl noticed the TV program and kneeled respectfully in front of the leading figure of the shadowians, the Okashira, the old woman having inhabit Rina's body since some time now.

Fujiko stared as.. .Setusko knelty down before the TV as it showed all the propoganda, as well as the okashira. looking over to the others, then abck to Setsuko, she frowned. "Um... Are we going to.. be able to handle this? i seems like this is beyond the normal brainwashing...."

The Magica Club members explained their own cases, how they felt and thought during their time as shadowian's minions until they have been freed from this brainwash. It can be defeated, it is basically a spell spread by the magic of Lind that is present into the tower, that building being used to broadcast it on the whole island. Standing, the purple hairs pointed Fujiko.

"Come with me, you will need clothes more suited for fights, we will take some from oka-san in her room"

Fujiko sighe.d She could only hope that they would be fully free of its influence. Then... suddenly, Uka poitn to her and she stared. Wear. Setsuko's... ccombat clothes? Eh? This was embarrassing... and kind of exciting.

"Really? me? Are we the same size? I mena, it wa smy mother for so long.. I um.. Not much of a fighter like this. Are you sure it is ok?"

Grabbing Fujiko and putting her against the wall of the door, the purple hairs frown.

"What now ? Just because you are a simple woman you don't want to fight anymore ? You prefer to send them all back into the shadowians claws ?!" she groaned, pointing their friends "There is no way it will work, they are too weak for this mission ! It will be just the 2 of us, we don't need anyone else, right ?"

Fujiko stared at Yuka, surprised by ehr sudden change in demeanor.

"Look, I'm a scholar, not a warrior! But sorry, I didn't think you would react so badly. But Yuka, I never said anything about backing down. Or making them fight. Are you ok?"

She sighed softly. "Maybe we can, but we need to be smart. I only have access to Melissa and Aelys now, so the time I can fight is reduced. So we need to move and act smart."

Calming down a bit, Yuka nodded. Surely all this pressure as the last fight is coming was making her nervous.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to wear any fighting clothes. Sorry about that Fujiko-chan, I...I worry about you, in this kind of battles any detail can make the difference..."

Fujiko sighed softly and press off the wall, gently pulling Yuka into a hug.

"It's ok, its ok. I understand. I'll wear some combat outfit if it helps. No worries. We are so close,. I can understand getting nervous. This is your life, your friends, your family...."

Hugging back, Yuka softly nodded, waiting a bit before delivering a kiss to her girlfriend. Keeping their hands together, the purple hairs displayed a more fightful expression.

"We must target the Okashira, inside Rina's body she is kinda weak. If we manage to seal her too, the whole brainwash will crumble for sure !"

Fujiko nodded quickly, adjusting her glasses gently.

"I understand. Cutting off the head of a snake is the best plan. We can't fight an army and have any sort of strength left over. So, I agree. We just need a plan."

"We need to get close to the Okashira, to pretend to be one of them to strike".

Yuka then looked at the middle-aged, merging with her. Having now Yuka's face, Fujiko put back her glasses, looking almost alike she uses to then turn her own clothes to the trademark leotard.

"We can walk to the tower, it's not far away" she claimed, piloted by Yuka, before jumping by the window of the room, landing quietly into the street. All over them, the inhabitants were living like of nothing were to happen but when seeing the new outfit of the japanese, they all praised her, like a heroine.

"Only a few selected are allowed to wear this, like a personnal guard. This is simple but should work."

Moving on, the teacher met no difficulties, reaching the entrance of the tower where 2 bulky guys let her come in. Yuka magic signature is so high, only a chosen one can emit such a level. Once in front of the elevator, she stopped.

"Wouldn't it more quiet from the upstairs ?...But with our heels it might kill out feet !"

Sighing softly, she had felt so strange not having contorl of her body. but seeing ti was Yuka, she made no fuss about it. Instead, once they were in, she look to the elevator, then the stairs.

"As I had merged with Fujiko... I am quite used to it. She wears them whenever she can. It helps her look more elegant and proffessional. We should be able to handle it, and avoid alerting them all... if we try the stairs. Could always slip them off if we need to."

Yuka mocked Fujiko, imagining her running feet naked to the top of the tower but if the teacher was so confident about it why not ? This detour allowed them to avoid having to confront with the actual Ririka and Yoshie, as well as some of Yuka's high school classmates that have been occupying the first floor levels where they know learn the principles of the Goddess "Milo" aka Lind. Reaching the 16th floor, Fujiko body would have started to tire but due to the merge she has become a bit more atletic, getting back the energy of her youth when she used to have good grades in long-term running. Though, as they were close to the top, another trial came on their way : Ayana, the mother of Aina and Aiko.

"Going somewhere ?" she groaned, making a move with her arm that created a powerful wind embodied with Holy magic, splitting Yuka and Fujiko. Once the purple hairs was out of that body, the middle-aged woman grabbed the teacher's arms, tying them with her new shadow energy, blocking all of her moves. "Bringing this weakling was your mistake Yuka, what will you do now ? You know that your magic powers can't match mines"

Fujiko gasped as she split! She wasn't expecitng them to STILL be using holy magic. And were it not for Yuka, she would have surely been blasted aside. Biting her lip, she looked to Yuka, then back to Ayana. If only the spirit of Andew merged with one of the more capable fighters...

Still, she moved cloe to Yuka, frowning. "If we can distract her...I can rush her as Aelys...."

All of a sudden, the gorgeous figure turned into the young and powerful Aelys, dissipating the magic spell that was tying her wrists together. As she was ordering Yuka to give up and offering her body to Lind, stunned, Ayana looked confused to the shapeshifter, allowing Yuka to freeze her feet to prevent her auntie to move an inch. It was the perfect opening for the famous smashes of Aelys...

And smash she did! Aelys was not one for stratwgy or planning. so did what she did best. She hit Ayana with enough power to knock her unconccious. The only bit she held back was to avoid killing her.

Once she saw she was down, she would turn back, hoping to save what time she could for the other forms.

Ayana weakness was her lack of resistance against the physical attacks. This punch almost broke her jaw and the impact of her head against the rail of these stairs could have killed her in one blow if she had not been enhanced by the shadow magic. The access to the last floor was now wide open but Yuka looked silent to her auntie lying there. If only she could master the magic of Setsuko or Ayana, they would not fear anymore those Shadowians...grinding her teeth, the purple hairs followed her future niece and together they met the last boss in front of a totem of crystal : the Okashira ! Displaying Rina's face, she turned with surprize to this unexpectated duo.

"You ?! How did you manage to come here ? What about Kaito and Hayato ?! The 2 of them should have defeated you already !"

Staring and gripping her hands tightly, she raised a fist. "They weren't enough, and now we'll set things straight! You'll pay for trying to take over the world!"

Unfortunately, Aelys was still the assumed persona, so she just burst forward, eager to use her speed, power, and durability to smash the Okashira until Yuka could come up with a plan.

It was so fast, surely too much reckless. Even Yuka had no idea that her girlfriend would rush forward without thinking. So the body is taken the upper hand on the mind when shapeshifting...the hits landed, the Okashira was not damaged much as her body was recovered by the shadow magic acting like a shield. Though some bruises could be seen on her body totally not adapted for a fight. Trying to counter attack with some straight blasts, she then stepbacked and chanted a spell that created some geysers of flames, smashing Aelys' body against the ceiling. Furious of this move, Yuka came closer, slapping together the cheeks of the blue hairs before spreading ice on her whole face. Unable to see or hear much, the leader of the Shadowians hit randomly, panicking, missing her targets. Protecting herself with some shields of ice, Yuka jumped further.

"Hey hey ! Where are you hitting ? I'm here !!"

Out of herself, the Okashira, still limited in sight, thrown a huge blast that the purple hairs planned to throw back but she has not noticed the Okashira's shadow that was under her feet...coming out of the roof to impale her in the chest...now the wave of shadow magic will finish her off...

Injured by the surprise attack, the body of Aelys landed on the ground. It wasn't too bad, but she certainly felt it. Staring at the scene below her though, she could see that Yuka took a heavy blow! Worried, she fought through the spell and kicked off the cieling, forming a clone Melissa to push Yuka away while she begna to charge as much of Aely's ki as she could to form a blast to combat the magical wave! She needed to at least save Yuka and get her out of here! They could try again later when she healed, but if she was lost this was all lost!

The duel between the girl from the future timeline and the main priestess of the Shadowians was intense. After putting Yuka out of danger, doll Melissa came back to join the effort as her mistress wanted to. Together they took the lead and repelled the massive energy gathered that exploded at the face of the Okashira. A part of her leotard have burnt at the impact, heavily hit, she kneeled, unable to rise her head anymore.

"That...that's impossible...these powers...are out of this existence...who...who are you..."

Not leaving, the Melissa's doll put her body between Aelys and the Okashira to make sure that no last blow would be landed by surprize.

Glaring at the defeated Okashira, Aelys stomped over and grabbed at her clothes, pulling her up to her eye level to glare deeply at her. "I am Aelys... and others. I was summoned to fix the anomaly you were making, that could damage too many worlds. And I am here to stop you however I need to, to fix this timeline. Yuka's timeline." Gritting her teeth, she punched the Okashira, aiming to KO her for a long time till They could chek on Yuka and dispel what needed to be dispelled.

As the punched rained, the Okashira's shadow magic was starting to fade away, she could not do anything but to focus on her defense, unable to counter-attack. The moment of glory was so close, she had never thought that an attack could occured today, beside all the security measures, none of them could be applied today as no one could imagine this situation to happen. At some point, the representative of Lind for decades, had to leave Rina's body, the teenager girl falling into the arms of Yuka that sighed of relief.

"It has been a long time huh ?" she stated, hugging the body of her friend tightly.

Fujiko or Aelys could have pity for the Okashira that was none other than an old, decrepit woman, whose life has been spoiled by the shadow magic. Begging for her life, she prays as strong as she could for a miracle when loud scream can be heard, a young woman coming out of nowhere, kicking her out of the building, making her fall from the top of the tower. The long complain of the shadowian could be heard by everyone in the building while Myria joyfully appeared to her sister and future daughter with a large smile.

"Yay ! No more villains around !!"

But as Yuka lectured her for this silly act that lead to the death of a human being, Myria arguing she was closer to a yokai, all the girls were suddenly immobilized, a kind of shining spider-web appearing under their feet, sticking them to the ceiling before a high-voltage spread into their spines.

"You....How dared you to do that to our boss ?! You deserve an intense torture !!"

This voice...was the one of Setsuko...or at least it was...as the figure of the motherly woman has been stolen since some time by the last warrior of the shadowians, also their champion : Mizu the kunoichi.

Aeyls was Not ready for the kick to send the Okashira flying. She could only stare at the younger version of her mother....

Still, the shaows all across the land would surely weaken. For now, She just needed to tend to Yuka before the transformation wore off..... Suddenly, a dark web grabbed them all, pulling them up to the ceiling!?

Crap! Right! Hearing Setsuko's voice.... Mizu! Of course she was still aorund here! In a hurry, Andrew dissipated the Melissa clone and turned from Aelys back to his new, true form..... that of Fujiko. She refused to give Even more powerful body parts to Mizu if she could help it, even if she was now jsut a very curvy teacher. "This is bad.... anyone have a plan?"

"I have planned to kick her away too but I can't !" groaned Myria.

"You can't stop being dumbed for once ?!"

The sisters continued to argue, showing their tongues one after the other like kids while Mizu looked at them with anger, frowning. Coming first to Fujiko, the shadowian has been witness of her current shapeshift power. If that teach former was useless, the 2 other ones that can pop out of nowhere were another story. Grabbing Fujiko's jaw in her palm, the middle-aged woman stated :

"Your powers are the same than his...are you actually Deus ?"

Deus...the forbidden name ! That being that is the father of Yuka and Myria, the one that granted this shapeshift power to Andrew before and allowed him to become stronger throughout the timelines ! Of course Mizu knew, as she has stolen everything about Setsuko, having memories of the japanese with her former lover !!

The curvy teacher glared at Mizu as she step up in that familiar shape, glaring through clenched teeth and her glasses as assassin got closer. "No, I am NOT Deus. I was merely empowered by him to rectify this rotten timeline. You won't succeed any of the ideas you are forming in your stolen head."

Frowning even more to learn that Deus was indeed part of this plot, Mizu started to fear that this old man would point his nose to save his fellow daughters and henchwoman. Thinking speechless, she turned to the statue of crystal, rising her head to its top. The Okashira was supposed to be the only one able to perform the ritual to transplant Lind's soul into Yuka's body, though with her powers acquired through Setsuko's body and mind, the kunoichi could perform it too. Unable to hit her own daughters, especially her beloved Yuka, Mizu slapped violently Fujiko, making her fall, standing immobilized on the roof. Has it focused her attention too much ? Unexpectatly, Myria rushed in, punching strongly the imposter before Yuka reacted first, throwing some pillars of ice to the warrior. Though a single blow from her arm destroyed them and took over Myria high in the sky before she smashed her head against the roof.

"Stupid kids, I have not only the Holy abilities or the Shadow abilities but also the strenght and magic of the best shadowians. Even by combining your lowly powers you are no match for me" turning to Fujiko, she then grinded her teeth. "Talking about powers...I will get rid of this annoying shapeshifting skill of yours. Not that I fear any surprize attack coming from you too but I need to prevent any move from Deus here". Putting her hand onto Fujiko's forefront, the shadowian performed an exorcism, extracting the forms of Melissa, Aelys and even the one of Yuka ! Making the 3 kneeling in front of her before using her special move, adding to herself their strongest body parts ! In an instant the body of Setsuko transformed again, Mizu inheriting of Aelys right arm and hand, Melissa's legs, the pink boots taking place onto her legs while Yuka long hairs became her own. This done, Mizu made a move with her head, having pleasure to display her new haircut to her guest, amazed.

Bleeding at the forefront, Myria could not understand what was happening but she hated this fake Setsuko, she was not her mother and never would Setsuko do such a thing. Managing to move a bit, she screamed of pain as the pressure on her body became tighter, the abilities of the 3 dolls having increased the power of Mizu.

"Are you mocking my powers ? There is no way you can stand" shouted the shadowian.

But against all the foreplans, Myria could, standing again, even if unable to make a single step.

Setsuko gasped! no.. without those forms, Fujiko was jsut too weak to help! And wiht her overwhelming power... having taken even the strength of Aelys in, there was little hope! As the teacher lay there barely able to move, she could only look around. This was bad... this was very bad. Everyone was down. Myrai was barely able to stand. This was turning into the worst case!

Pissed to see Myria resisting to her grisp, Mizu came forward, standing in front of her "daughter".

"Stop insisting, you can't break my spell" but these words made Myria smile, succeeding in rising her leg a bit. "You have always been dumb but even these words are too hard to understand ? JUST GIVE UP !"

"No !"

As Myria managed to make a single step, Mizu, out of herself, slapped her harshly. Turning to Fujiko, Yuka wanted to try something, to say something, but she feared to be spotted by Mizu. As the shadowian was slapping the purple hairs again, some voices reached them. It was the Magica Club members !! Kono, Mika, Tira, even Rina ! Aina and Aiko were there as well, holding their mother with their shoulders to support her ! These reinforcements lighted up the hearts of the 3 fighting Mizu but the warrior get rid of them all by forming a wave of energy thanks of Aelys' arm, thus the ones still able to move were turned to ice statues due to the stolen Yuka's ice magic...suddenly grinning, Mizu used Melissa's legs to kick several times the belly of Myria, making her strip, but as the shadowian was out of balance, Myria suddenly dashed, delivering a powerful punch into Mizu's face. This part has not been enhanced ! Surely her weakness !! Using her magic to boost her twin's athetic abilities, the little witch broke free of the spell, coming to deliver Fujiko too !

"How do you feel ?! We don't have time, we are fortunate that Myria's body adapt to the power of the opponent ! By stolen these body parts she has just turned Myria stronger ! Alas, I fear it won't be enough !"

Fujiko groaned, standing up with the help of Yuka. Her nearly middle-aged body was not trained, and not suited to this. And with all those forms removed, she truly was just a completely normal human. However, she held Yuka tight.

"I am fine. I just wish I could help more. But I am so proud of you. Don't forget that. We can do this, we jsut need to think of a plan while Myria keeps her busy. If only there was something I could do to help....but enough of that. All your friends and family are here, we can do this

Holding thightly her girlfriend's hand, Yuka frown :

"We better not try to help them, I know it sounds harsh but Myria won't last long against Mizu, we have to try something else !"

As saying so, she turned her head toward the crystal statue...maybe if they can break it the soul of the alien would perish and the shadowian would lose their powers ?!

Seeing where Yuka was looking, Fujiko nodded. the teacher was on the same page.

"Let's find a way to break it. Even if you need to toss me at it"

Yuka laughed at this idea even if she would have prefered to toss Myria against it but the screams of pain of her twin convinced Yuka to change her mind. As the 2 approached the crystal figure, this one looked incredibly strong and heavy.

"Grumpf, how did they even managed to bring it here ?"

Checking any weakness into the material, the duo could hear a voice talking into their mind, it was Lind, the alien from outerspace ! If Fujiko has already heard her in the timeline of the Time Patrol, for Yuka it was the first time and the purple hairs was impressed by this strong will.

"Finally here my vessel ! How long I have been waiting for this ! Mizu, performs immediatly the ritual !!"

"Ah ! Yes mistress !"

But this moment of low guard allowed Myria to launch a combination of kicks and punchs onto the kunoichi. Time was short, Yuka proposed to use her ice magic to slide it out of the building so it would crash in the street like the Okashira before. This idea worried Lind that urged her last minion to transfer her mind into Yuka quickly, though the fight was not over yet. Entering in action, Yuka did not notice that, while she was preparing a runway to put in apply her plan, the shadow of Lind emerged from the statue, turned to Fujiko.

"This woman is weak, can be used as a vessel"

It was time for Fujiko and Lind to be reunited once more...the shadow about to integrate the middle-aged woman.

Eyes wide, Fujiko knew that voice well. And she knew that if anything, she needed to keep Yuka away from her. Looking over to the purple haired girl, she frowned.

"Yuka, I'm sorry about this. But I can't let her have you, she is in the statue."

Concerned, Fujiko pushed Yuka away, leaving herself to be the only target of Lind. Hopefully, her weak self could limit Lind's powers and help hold her off till they found a way to win. Maybe even having had them once might help her keep them in check.

The black leotard took form onto Fujiko's body, wrapping her skin into that thight sexy leather. Indeed the body was weak but enough for the alien to block Myria a bit. Though the shadow wave coming out of her hand was...devastating ! Blowing Myria's away, ejecting her from the building ! Yuka jumped desperatly to save her sister with a bridge of ice, allowing the purple hairs to return with an acrobatic. Lind was looking to her hand, speechless and grinned. That Fujiko was a dimension traveller, during her pilgrimage she has met and mastered Lind's powers, those of Robelu too, they were not gone, just dorming into this soul...

"AWESOME ! EVEN BETTER THAN YUKA ! FROM NOW ON YOU ARE MINE !!"

Lind had no more need for the ritual, she engraved herself into Fujiko's body, becoming one with the entity lying inside. All of a sudden a violent wind of shadow spread all over Japan again, cancelling Mizu's skill, turning her back into her old form, like everyone, including those turned to ice statues. As everyone woke up from the spells, all opened wide their eyes as they were now all wrapped into the black leotard outfit, including all the males, Yuka and Myria. Lenna that has just showed up to heal her sisters was also stuck into her new uniform, worried of the meaning of this. As she rose her head, Fujiko made everyone of her new minions gathering in front of her, kneeling. Fujiko was now the owner of this country, the owner of these people, having acquired the powers of Lind. She has to make a choice now, to keep Lind's powers and start a new life as the Goddess of this world or fighting Lind at the risk to die with her...

Fujiko/Andrew could have NEVER foreseen this happening. It seemed that her time merged with the demons.. amplified her potential and compatibility with them! In no time at all, Lind's powers dwarfed that of Yuka's. This was terrible! And in moments, a sort of worst case scenario happened!

With all this new power, the whole country quickly fell under her sway as she merged into the being with her host! no, she was being taken over by a demon again! Thankfully, having experienced it with Robelu, Fujiko was doing her best to fight back! Sure, she could accept becoming one with Lind and ruling everyone. but this was a false rule, and eventually Deus would involve himself again and end it. Besides, it would hurt those she met and came to care for, as well as abandong her task! So she chose to fight and resist, hoping to wrest some mild contorl from Lind!

This internal struggle between the demon inside Fujiko, that wanted to lead the world and the humans against her human soul wishing to live peacefully among her friends, generated a powerful tornado that blew away everyone, some hardly standing on their feet while the others had to grab something to end up off the roof like the Okashira. At some point even the black clouds in the sky concentrated above Fujiko that had her shadow becoming massive, reaching the sky, smashing the crystal statue were Lind was sealed for so long. Mizu proposed to give a hand to the demon, targetting Myria, Yuka and Setsuko again to steal their body parts, but this time the mother was faster, breaking the kunoichi arms before sealing her alongside Kaito and Hayato. Gathering, the girls helped Lenna to stand when the wind stopped and the air became quieter. The red sky was gone, the black clouds too, everything seemed back to the state it was when the Shadowians were still a hidden cult.

"Is this over ?" asked Lenna.

"Already ? I wanted to give a hand, I mean a punch" frown Myria.

"Fujiko ? Are you alright ?" dared to ask Yuka, slowly approaching her girlfriend that rose softly her head, the eyes shining a bit.

The woman slowly sat up, groaning as she slowly faught her way to a seated position. Fujiko.... she was Fujiko, right? Yea.... That whole thing wiht Lind... merging into her. She felt off, confused, and tired. She weakly smiled, unsure if she had merely tamed this, sealed it, or jsut bought time. Was she Lind? wholly, partially? Oh well.. looking around, the statue was shattered.. the sky bright and blue.... and the outfits gone.

"Did.... we win?"

Everyone was back to normal, including Fujiko but how to be sure ? Percing the silence, a clap resonnated....DEUS !! The mysterious man wrapped in his cape smiled :

"You have ! Congratulation for this amazing job. The timelines are saved, the world is out of danger and, more important, my precious Yuka can now life a happy teenagerhood"

As the people around her were stunned or wondering who was this moustached man, the little witch nodded before running into the arms of her father. So did Myria, rushing, and Lenna, moved, doing her best not to cry. The 3 sisters hugged thightly their father, making Setsuko frowning, but she knew how her daughters missed their father. The Magica Members then were allowed to surround Yuka, enjoying the return of their friends, the team being complete again !! Looking at each other before sighing, Setsuko and Ayana were now in peace with each other. They turned to Fujiko, their savior and asked, in the same timing :

"And now ? What are you going to do ?"

Sitting up and looking at them all, she smiled. "I can't believe we did it.... I.. I don't know. I thought Deus would send me home, or give em a new life here.... but if not... I suppose I'll remain here, as Fujiko. More of my spirit is now hers than my original, after all."

Rebuilding the village of the Sakura Blossom will take some time, all the retainers of Lind have been captured and no one remembered much why they were so fond of this outerspace creature. Back to the high school to finish their school year, the members of the Magica Club could not help but smile each time their teacher and friend Fujiko was giving them a lesson. After school, Yuka used to rejoin her girlfriend, both kissing secretly far from the sights. Their love was strong and so was their bond, sharing some common tastes beside the gap in age. Due to the new peace, only Lenna will move to France. Myria will soon rejoin her when learning that they have a half brother living oversea. Not interested, Yuka prefered to remain at Tokyo and look for a way for her mother to accept this relationship, maybe with the help of her father Deus ? Losing her other forms and even forgetting bit by bit her male past, Fujiko will enjoy this new life until one day they will adopt a little american boy named Warren...but this is another story.

END

-----------------------

So here ends this story that has been 2 years long ! A special thanks to Andrew for his help to develop my universe and timelines through his journey into the Myriaverse ! Maybe in the future I will adapt some contents of these stories or make another game, we never know
