Ninako's body glows.

"Ninako!?" Reiko says. "This light!? What's happening!?"

Her eyes open.

"Heh heh heh!" Sadako says. "More power! Open up more power!"

Ninako's body begins to shake. "Ninako!?"

"No!" Kurai says. "I have to hold it in... The power must not be increased further! The power must not be opened! The power of the Ninako's Crystal cannot be sent out easily to you!"

Sadako cries out. "My forehead! My forehead is splitting! It's scorching! Ohhh... Somebody is controlling my body from inside me! I have to endure a little more. My Queen. If I complete the utilization, I won't have such an inconvenient body... I'll get rid of it. I'll rule this puny world!"

"That can't happen!"

Ninako floats through the air. "Where is this!? It's dark, and scary. Why am I here?Something's been coming after me! I'm scared! Somebody help me!"

"Ninako-chan..." Kurai calls.

"Huh?" Ninako looks around and sees a shining crystal. "Oh. My Crystal!" She floats down to get it. "Great. I was worried when I didn't have it. Without it my body couldn't hold up. It's a part of my body."

"That's right. It is of one mind with you and your heart. You can't be away from it. And you shouldn't easily show it to people. Protect your spirit softly."

"Mother...? It's you! I feel at ease."

"It's all right," Kurai says, holding her. "I'll give you protection. I won't let them get your beautiful, pure spirit, and the crystal. I'll be sure to save you."

"The crystal's power has weakened!?" says Sadoako. It is because Ninako has control over it again.

"Ninako!?" says Reiko. "Her convulsions stopped!? Her hand... is warm. Is somebody... protecting Ninako's spirit!?"

The others are all inside the Infinity Labrynth now.

"You can see the Delta and Tokyo Bay from here," says Seiya. "Lots of buildings under construction... Like ruins hiding black monsters... Ruins... That image of ruins... I don't want to think that's a vision of the future! I want to defeat these enemies, whose form we can't see, quickly. I want to live without feeling this anxiety, and return to the peace of before! Unless we hurry and rescue Kurai-chan, Ninako's spirit, and her crystal... The time of Death's awakening... The time of the end of the world... Can we return to the peace of before...? Ninako...! Kurai-chan..."

"No good," says Sandra, his eyes looking out. "I can't get a read on the internal structure or their coordinates. And I can't find any life signs at all..."

"A lot of strong power is accumulating in the Infinity zone," says Theresa. "It has a strong influence. Now this land is becoming chaotic."

"Let's go to the basement," Moa says. "The labs are concentrated in the basement. We might be able to encounter the daimons."

"Let's divide into two groups," says Sandra. "While we investigate the floors one by one, down from this one, the 56th, you go down to the bottom. Seiya, take the elevator to the basement with Moa. I'll go with Theresa."

"Two groups..." Seiya thinks.

Sandra smiles. "Be careful." She leaves with Theresa.

"Sandra, Theresa..." Seiya calls faintly.

"Let's go," Moa says. "To the basement." They get in the elevator.

"Heh heh heh," Moeto says, working in the lab. "Seems they've boarded the elevator. A death sentence. The pretty ones who carry the lights of the planets' protection. The time has come! The grand occasion of the fruits of my long-awaited dream! My life-work. The superhuman. Hundreds of times a human's brains and physical strength. Tens of times longer a lifespan. Just a little more genetic operation and medicine administration. Then it will be possible to make the cyborg. I'm a genius. They'll be sorry they outcast me. For my research, I've chosen this Omega Area. The heavens gave me another chance since the accident. After the accident, I greatly reconstructed Kurai's body. It was the birth of the fruit of my dream, the superhuman. During that biggest experiment..."

A blast strikes the building.

"Professor!" Bandiane calls. "Lightning!" A bolt hits her.

"Bandiane!"

"They descended... Carrying eggs from another world. God chose me. I made a blunder in Lizzie's great reconstruction. I found a chance to use an egg of the utilization. I produced beautiful, perfect beings. Next, our loving monster! I won't miss making the failures for us, the rulers of the Black Dream hole. My experiments are for you. If our master's utilization is completed, we can survive completely. But I will continue the utilization by all means! I will get more perfect ones like me! A human has been united with foreign living things. I am clearly the inventor of the new creation, the superhuman. I am its god!"

"Dad..." Lizzie thinks.

The elevator descends.

"I- I'm nauseous..." Seiya says.

"You okay, Fighter?" Moa asks. "Guess even the great Fighter can't go against gravity on an elevator."

"It's picking up speed," Seiya thinks. "Just like... I'm falling endlessly to hell... Scary..."

"I wonder if Sandra and Theresa are okay," Seiya says.

"Did you want to go with them?" asks Moa. "They should be fine."

"Aren't you scared? Never mind! Being trapped in this building of ghosts and this never-ending elevator is getting to me. From here on, we'd fight the big enemy. Or so I thought. I feel like I'm all alone. It's scary. I just feel a bad premonition coming..."

"Don't call this solitude," Moa says. "Solitude extends more, infinitely. Like the places where we were."

"Tell me," Seiya says. "What kind of places were you at, Moa?"

"Deserted places. Where there's nobody. Completely alone. No one will come to help you. Lonely places."

"But, in any time," says Moa, "we looked back at the distant New Moon. That was our only ray of light."

"Yes," says Moa. "When that light shined, it brought us strength. There was nothing we couldn't do."

"Whenever we were about to give up," says Moa, "that light always led us on."

"This is taking long," Seiya says. "Too long. I'm worried about the others."

The elevator shakes around. The door opens, and they're tossed out of it. They fall through the darkness.

"Fighter!"

"Moa!" Seiya calls. He loses sight of them. "Darkness everywhere. I'm scared...! Moa! I can't hear her voice! Where are they!? Sandra! Theresa! I'm worried. We shouldn't have separated back there. Reiko, Ava, Mana, Kiana! Kurai!Ninako! Without everyone, I can't do anything. What should I do!? All alone here is the darkness. What can I do!?"

"That was our only ray of light."

"When that light shined, it brought us strength. There was nothing we couldn't do."

"Whenever we were about to give up, that light always led us on."

Seiya sees a point of light high above.

"Always... Everyone is shining on me, leading me... When I'm about to be crushed, I always remember. I'm carrying a light in my heart too. That's the spirit of all of us, in one. Just believe. For the moment that light shines down...!"

He raises his arm to the light.

"I am Fighter! With the strength given to me by everyone, I will shine through the darkness and make it light! I won't yield to any darkness or delusions!"

He attacked.

Seiya and Moa crash to the bottom of the elevator. The door opens.

"Welcome to my lab," Moeto says. "I've been looking forward to this. Heh heh. My pretty monsters are feeling hungry."

The monsters chase after Seiya.

Moa attacked with her powers, and The monster tear apart.

"Heh heh heh! Still more! I can make any amount of monsters! Ahahaha!"

"Stop it!" Seiya says. "We don't want to fight you here. Where's Kurai-chan!?"

"Kurai? Formerly the princess. She's at the holy sanctuary now, devoting the light similar to the Crystal Points, the power of the Blue Moon Crystal, to our Queen!"

"Queen!?"

"The Queen's quickening has finally begun! It's too bad, but this place will be your graveyard! You will be my first victims! I am Gelm!" He mutates into a large monster.

"A monster!?"

"I am not like the monster," he says. "I am a superhuman! The union of human and outside life! Die!" A blast of light shoots out. The soldiers jump away.

"Until seconds ago, this was a soldier!" Seiya thinks. He narrowly dodges an attack.

"This isn't a human anymore!" Moa says. "It's a monster! An enemy!"

She attacked; The monster knocks her away.

"Moa!" Seiya calls. He attacked.

The monster is ripped apart in a burst of light.

"Who's that!?" Seiya says. "It... seemed like someone was there..."

The ground begins to shake.

"Something's coming!" Moa says.

She used her powers and a sphere of light forms around them.

"What's that!?" Seiya says. "Something's crashing out through the ceiling!? They're up there! Sandra! Theresa!"

"Is something coming from below!?" Moa says.

The floor breaks apart as light blasts through it. The two are thrown into the air.

Seiya's transformation fades back to basic.

"Fighter!?"

"My transformation came undone! Did the connection of spirits break!? Did something happen to the others' bodies!? Sandra! Theresa!"

They float up through the hole in the ceiling, outside. The sky above is swirling with colors.

"The sky!?"

They see a glass room at the building's entrance.

"Something's inside the building! That's...!"

Sadako stares at them with a demonic grin. "Heh heh heh."

"That's... Kurai-chan!?"
