Another Dimension

<<Fukasawa Residence, Bella's Offfice>>

Once again, another heart warming moment happened between Bella and 'daughter'. It is the first time for Takaya to witness their deep relationship. Even the time isn't right for celebrate. Three of them also knew there is a bigger problem to solve,

"I'm glad that things going alright with you two... I was worrying what to come after all of this revealed." Bella said,

"What is done is done. Fight over it, we may face another complicity in our mess already..."

"Like we have now..."

Takaya and Asagi replied each other's word, giving impersion of their childhood in their aunt's eyes. She closed her eyes, release her anxiety.

"That's why mom- I mean... Aunty Bella... We needed your help, since Van-nee still not waking up, we need you to hold the military to stay still for us reaching the portal and take back her soul,"

Bella smiled,

"Asagi... Being a mother of two daughters isn't something reversible. No way I can forget all of our times together, You don't need to feel strange on me..."

Asahi blushed by her former mother. Yet nothing is former for their relationship as Bella said,

"Alright. I see what I can do... But, did you two have plan for this?" Bella asked,

Takaya sees Asagi, smiled toward her, signals a confidence to her,

"I have some idea about that big hole... Since I got everything back, I realized that the Hole's power is somewhat similar to Saega especially to me... The darkness within that is very powerful and I might worried that the others could not stand the intensity." Asagi said,

"You mean, you wanna go inside that hole and see where is that leads to?" Bella asked,

"No. We can not enters it through the hole. The hole is indeed a portal, it is similar to Sagiri's dimensional portal. But where it leads is something else..." Takaya said,

"The only one way to find out is using a portal that we as human can safely get in and out... We needed Sagiri for this matter..." Asagi adds,

"Then if you guys can managed to get there, who is going through that?"

"Takaya, Saega, Sagiri and me... If possible Sanna would also welcome to join-"

Right after she said Sanna's name she stopped, she widely open her eyes as like she realizes something,

"No... Sanna will stay... She is the key..." She said,

"Key? What are you talking about?" Takaya confused,

"Sanna has the power to opened a portal with her power, and her power is specializes for stopping a kind of powers like mine. Opening a portal is immense task to handle, Sagiri would only can open us a way in..."

"I didn't get it clearly but I think I understand your thinking... So you're saying that Sanna will be our way to get out of there, but how she would know we needed to get out?"

Asagi turns her head toward Takaya that is beside her,

"You both should figure out about that..." Asagi smiling like she mocks him,

"Sorry?" He said,

"Pfffft Hahahahaha" Bella laughed loud, understanding what Asagi actually mean,

He even more confused when it happened,

"I don't get it...." He said,

"Ughhh... You did it back when the time she is was inside Sagiri's imaginary realm... That is only a thing dan can be done by both of you..." Asagi said,

"Eh? How'd you know?!" Takaya asked,

"Remember how Fukushima contain AI's power using his own body? He need to have contact with her in certain amount of time... That's why they creating a bracelet for easily store the power," Asagi remind him,

"..." Takaya still confused, Asagi rolls her eyes disbelief how slow Takaya's thinking,

"Oh my goodness," Asagi pull out her phone, taps the screen, she wait for a moment until the a voice coming out from it,

"Hello??" The other end just speaks with a familiar voice,

"Ah, Sanna... It's Asagi..."

"Eh? Asa... Asagi? What a surprise... What's up?"

Asagi cleared her throat before she talked,

"Umm Sanna, you already know right that Takaya is my little brother, and I can see thoughts... So there is no way you can lied to me alright?" Asagi said,

"Well among all of the odd things yeah I do aware about that... What do you want?" Sanna voice hilariously flat,

"Well I just asking a few questions if you don't mind..."

"Sure... Go ahead, I'll listen..." She said,

"So, you two are dating?"

A coughing sound heard from the phone, when Asagi and Erisa looked at Takaya, he already closing his face down,

"Is no use to hides it... Yes, we are-"

"So did both of you kiss??"

Another coughing sound can be heard, followed by a crashing sound,

"What the hell?!! You stalking us?!" Sanna madly answer the question,

"Well, I just see his thoughts and yours before, so I just want a confirmation,"

"I swear of anything if can get rid of that-"

Asagi hilariously hung up the phone, letting the room weirded by the situation, but only Takaya felt that, Bella and Asagi holds their laugh,

"What's the point of that Asa-nee..."

Asagi try to hold get grip of herself,

"It means that both of you guys have some both of your power inside, you guys shares that since then... And it seems the power will never fade.."

"How did you know?" Takaya asked,

"Because I can feel her power inside you, and so with her... That's why both of you are connected each other..." Asagi said,

"But, it happened so suddenly, how you think it is possible for this time?" Bella asked,

Asagi looked down with a happy expression,

"It happened twice... When you were taken by Saega inside her dimension, I gave Sanna some of my power to force her to access the darkness and locates Saega... And it happened second time where she able to communicate with you while she is trapped inside Sagiri's imaginary dimension. In short, when she have access to others power, she able to locates them, open a portal which we can use it to escape." she stop when she gaze at Takaya,

"We gather everyone!" he said. Feeling it might be the best chance to proceed the danger, he knew he must work with it as fast as possible.

<<X.A.G Academy, 2A Class Room>>

Everyone alerted by Takaya's instant notice. While Takaya, Asagi, Bella already waiting, the other enters the room. Thus everyone is shocked by a familiar appearance yet with different aura,

"I'm sorry to make you guys come here in a rush… Some of you may not having a enough rest… But I really asking you guys a favor… As you guys know, yesterday we have a big fight with the unknowns and sadly we loose our man… As we speak, the force of the unknown threads our world… but there would be us to protect it, that's why we're here today. But before we talked about it, there is someone owed us explanation,"

Takaya turn himself towards the short yellow hair girl beside him, Smiling…

As she looked at everyone they showed a arched up lips, displays an excitment,

She stood up as Takaya sits in his chair. She clear her throat as she want to speak,

"Maybe a small re-introduction may explain a thing or two about what you looking at,

My name is… Asagi Takahashi… My former self, Asahi is now gone… Not dead… At least that is I want to believe… Asahi is real, even though she use this body to live, but she gave it to me for a chance where I can finally live again as my self…

As you hear I also an Takahashi, their blood flowing through my veins, Yet I denied my destiny once... Caused by own selfish revelation, trying to do all by self, left alone my family and siblings...

But today, I'm not talking about all of my life, all of my unexplainable mystery... I'm here to ask all of you a favor, even though I'm worthy to ask..."

Asagi bend her body down, letting all of her tears raining to the floor, as everyone stand and trying to stop her,

"Please... Help me... Help me to save my family... Help me... To save one and only... Beloved older sister..."

As everyone hears the girl trembling voice, they start to show affection towards her situations, Takaya walk beside her, also bend his body following her,

"Please... Help us..."

Joined by Lania, Jack, Howard, Estelle and lastly, Bella...

The room become filled by a heart warming moment, where they did not expect to see many people who actually powerful enough to destroy them, yet their begging, powerless.

Sanna walks before Asagi, lifting her face and body to directly see her face and eyes,

"All of my days, seeing you as someone who more capable to handle things better than me... But I realized you also needed help... And today is today I see you properly asked me to help you..." She said that, smiling, "I owe you many life... Not only mine.... But also all the people who are here.... You may not think of it.. but you see, your sacrifices bringing life for us..."

Asagi look around to see an happy smile, really did not expect that all...

Sanna hugs her, "You maybe wrong, but sometimes wrong things is the right thing to do. Even if it cost you more...."

Asagi fell to there knees while she still on Sanna's hands,

"You did everything you can... And now is out turn to help you. So there's no way we won't help you."

With that, once again Asagi shed her tears, crying out loud after seeing everyone smiling, agreed with Sanna's word,

"Th- thank you... Very much.." fainted voice echoes in their ears, finally after several years she speak honestly to herself.

30 minutes later....

In the newly rebuilded rooftop, Asagi alone standing in the middle, watching the bright skies. For the first time ever her skin exposed to sunlight, breathing a fresh air, and witness the beauty of the world.

She closed her eyes. Trying to believe she was alive once again, she open her eyes once more, saw Sanna already walking towards her,

"Everyone is waiting for you," Sanna said,

"Mmm..." Asagi responded to her,

"What are you doing here?"

"I watching the skies... Exposed my self to the UV light after years of slumber..."

"You spoke like you we're dead once,"

"I am... Sanna... I am... I'm denied my life once, that makes me dead to everyone..."

Sanna stand beside her, joining her to see the skies,

"Hmmm... I knew you have another weird thing beside your weird life.... Can you just do something normal after you 'alive' again?"

"Well... I bet Asahi also do something weird, after all, she is my reflection..." She turns herself around, making them see opposite part of the skies,

"What happened to Asahi?" Sanna asked,

"She... Gave her opportunity to live for me... She wants me to life, end my selfishness, but I wanting her to life, enjoy her life... Yet she force herself... After that she's gone... Left me a smile..."

"So she wins over you..."

"Yeah... Annoying right? She is really great at forcing someone,"

"As we're you..."

Both laughing faintly, as the enjoying to talk about the past,

"You know, The first time I see you is when we fought Saega... I see you, even with your ugly face... But I can see you really clear..."

"How come?"

"I don't know... I can't tell... But I feel it... Your eyes, i see your sadness..."

Asagi gazed on her, "I'm surprised.... That's why you seems not surprised to see me... "

"I am surprised but... Yeah... I know, I expected your existence, after Saega also believe you are..."

"Damn... I busted even when I completely grabs my own life...."

"But... Which one of you actually are... To me, you never dead... You are my rival... And..."

She stopped

"And?" Asagi turn herself toward Sanna,

"And, I think you as own my sister..."

Jaw dropped by her word, she unable to reacts even to move her mouth to say how she even think like that. She closed her eyes, deeply touched by her words, she walked toward the exit door,

"Thank you Sanna... That is the most kindest word I ever hear from someone...."

Sanna walks beside her,

"You're welcome, I guess you owe me one..."

Sanna jokingly said,

Asagi walked with her aura emitting outside of her body, she transform into her new astral armor form,

"That form, seems more like it's more darker than your previous form," Sanna said,

Asagi smiled, "This is my mother's legacy..."

She opens the door, and once again gaze in the skies,

"And with this, I shall honor her legacy... And start the journey to taking back my sister's soul from another dimension!"
