Chapter 108: Returned Magical Girl (9) (End) (New)

Rachel opened her eyes to see the clear blue sky, she immediately held up her hands. Because nothing is as clear to her as what the truth is.

"I am not a stranger to the dark

Hide away, they say

'Cause we don't want your broken parts

I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars

Run away, they say

No one'll love you as you are."

Mitsui frowned, at the sudden change in her old comrade. They where winning, she had chosen despair over hope. Yet, why does it feel that wasn't what she was doing.

Rachel turned around. "I think you are mistaken about me, I loved Sing, I loved Dancing. But I willingly gave all that up. Didn't you all once give everything up.

We all made that choice. I'll never forget that, nor have I regretted it" Rachel breathed again and closed her eyes as the despair fragment within her broke and shattered completely. The light particles spread from her.

In destroying the Despair Heart, The Star Gem User sacrificed themselves, in body and in heart. What remaining was the despair heart trying desperately to live by clinging on to what reminded.

That included that last thoughts of the Star Gem User. With that little bit of power, it recreated them although it was slow. Thinking it would give them a chance to survive while on the brink of death.

Unusually it is, but it made the right choice. It collected despair that formed from its creation.

But then something else happened. A Surviving Star Gem, that Gem belonged to Everly. It took away Everly's lasting thought and used what remained of itself to revive Everly.

The Original Everly wasn't a version of Rachel, the Star Gem itself was. However, in the process of bringing back Everly, Rachel came and absorbed a part of it herself.

This created the anomaly of the two. Everly who wasn't completely revived wasn't able to talk or stand while Rachel was only a specter. This also explains their transformed State.

Rachel sighed in her white space, they where both ghosts, and with the despair heart threat of returning. It was best to go through the same path as the original star gems.
