## Transcript

Yuki: But we have to find them!

Ayaka: Kaito is different…Their home was some sort of…Void? Like this one! Just, a light one.

Yuki: We need Kaito! We need to stop Yami, and we can’t do that if we don’t–

Yumeka: Stop! This is not all about stopping him, Yuki! I thought you changed.

Yuki: I never changed my intentions! We– Wait…You don’t want to stop him?

Yumeka: I don’t know, Yuki! I’m sure he’s not THAT bad! I…miss him, okay?! It’s difficult.

Mizuki: Yume, it’s important. Please.

Yumeka: Is it?! What’s the danger, hm? I’m sure I can somehow stop him! I’m confident, I am! But, what if…What if he just wants to be normal? With us?

Yuki: Then, why did he keep us here?

Yumeka: Because you won’t listen!

Yuki: So, you just want us to give him a chance? Like that? After he hurt us? After he trapped us in here?!

Yumeka: Yes! You wanted to find all the Guardians, so that we could protect the present–

Miyu: Future.

Yuki: No, she's--

Yumeka: But we can’t protect the people from that danger if we don’t have all ten Guardians!

Yuki: HE’S the danger.

Mizuki: The whole world might be in danger, Yume!

Yuki: If he does what he wants to do, he will destroy all three dime-- timelines!

Yumeka: How do you know that?!

Yuki: I…I just do!

(Yumeka laughs)

Axel: Listen to Yuki. He’s a real threat.

Yumeka: Fine.

Yuki: Thank you for understan–

Yumeka: Alex, can you see if he wants to see you? He probably doesn’t want to see me after…that.

Yuki: Yumeka!

Yumeka: Alex!

Alex: I don’t want to check, Yume!

Yumeka: Please, Alex! I promise that it’s for good! Would I ever lie to you?

Alex: Yes.

Yumeka: Would I lie to you in such situation?

Ayaka: Yumeka, can’t you see? I know it hurts to admit since he’s your brother–

Yumeka: My twin brother.

Mizuki: There are so many twins. Wow.

Ayaka: --but you have to realize that he’s bad! You heard Yuki, alright?

Yumeka: (sarcastic) Oh, because Yuki knows everything.

Yumeka: Why do you believe her? Why do you trust her more than me?!

Ayaka: Because you’re childish!

(Silence)

Ayaka: Yumeka, he is planning to come into reality to hurt innocents!

Alex: You even said it yourself, Yume.

Ayaka: See?!

Yumeka: Well, I wasn’t thinking straight and–

Ayaka: He will do anything to get what he wants, Yume!

Yumeka: No, he wouldn’t.

Yuki: If he created an obstacle for us, he is certainly dangerous. He certainly means war.

Yumeka: You can never be certain, Yuki. You pretend that you know everything–

Yuki: Because I know everything!

(Silence)

Yuki: Sorry. I don’t…know many things, of course. But, Yume, he’s not on our side. He can’t help because he’s the thing we’re protecting the timeline from.

Yumeka: No! He’s a Guardian, so…he can help us! Right? Right?!

(No one responds)

Yumeka: What…what about the gem? Isn’t that a threat?

Yuki: No.

Ayaka: The gem can help us, Yume.

Yuki: It was designed for us Guardians.

Mizuki: What gem?

Yuki: The Wishing Gem.

Yumeka: Maybe he can help us with finding it!

Alex: She’s not wrong!

Yuki: He can’t.

Yumeka: Then…he can help us with other things! Like...He can help us with–

Axel: Help us with what? Will he protect us from himself? He’s the villain in this, Yumeka! There is no-one else! He’s THE threat. The reason we’re here.

Ayaka: He’s not on our side, Yumeka.

(Yumeka is speechless)

Yumeka: Yu– Yuki?!

(Yuki looks away)

Yumeka: You guys forget that I’m the Queen!

Axel: The Queen test is fake.

Yumeka: No, the first one was fake! It’s real because- because the prophecy was right! Nora Novak was the Queen and- and I’m the Queen now! It is Ved’s prophecy!

Yuki: How did you know about that?!

Yumeka: He…he told me.

Axel: It must have been another one of his lies.

Yumeka: You guys won’t ever listen to me, will you? Oh, because I’m so bad, and I can’t make mistakes, and I can’t be the Queen because I ACTUALLY HAVE A HEART AND BECAUSE I’M SUCH A FAILURE!

(Yumeka disappears)

Mizuki: Wait, Yumeka!

Ayaka: Yume!

Axel: She’s in control of dreams, isn’t she? Couldn’t she have made us see Kaito?

Yuki: Why didn’t you say it sooner?!

Axel: I just realized! Why didn’t you think of that?! Aren’t you supposed to be the smartest?

Miyu: Guys, don’t fight!

Yuki: I AM the smartest! I just–

Axel: You were too busy fighting with Yumeka.

Yuki: So were you!

Miyu: Guys!

Yuki: (sarcastic) What a great day! It just keeps on getting better!

Axel: And whose fault is that?

Yuki: Are you trying to blame it on me?! I tried my best, okay?!

Axel: You clearly didn’t try hard enough.

Yuki: I can’t believe this!

Miyu: Mizuki, can’t you turn on your disco? We might need it right now.

(Mizuki laughs)

Mizuki: I wish I could.

Axel: We need to get her back or we’ll be stuck here forever!

Alex: Or, there’s an alternative…

Yuki: What alternative?

(Alex closes his eyes)

Axel: Alex, don’t!

(Alex is in the Void with Yami)

Yami: Alex, my friend! I have to go soon – but I'm glad you came to say goodbye.

Alex: I need help.

Yami: Oh.

Yami: So you weren’t here to–

Alex: Bye, Yami.

Yami: There is no feeling in that goodbye, Alex.

Alex: Can you help me?

Yami: I have nothing better to do, I suppose. How are you doing with your “past” thing?

Alex: Awful. I’m exactly here for that.

Yami: Can you believe it, Alex? When we see each other again, I will have actual pupils! Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate these ones, but…I wish I seemed more human-ly. After all, I am a human, not a “shadow”.

Alex: How do we see Kaito?

Yami: Oh, yeah, I didn’t think that one through. You might need Yumeka for that one.

Alex: (sarcastic) Great!

Yami: Why? Isn’t she there with you?

Alex: No, she left.

Yami: Where to?

Alex: I don’t know!

Yami: Too bad.

Alex: Yami, please! Can’t you help me? I can speed up the reality process, somehow! I can try to!

Yami: I don’t think you can, Alex. Thanks for the thought, though.

Alex: I beg you! If you get us back, we will never get in your way again!

Yami: See, it’s not that I don’t trust you, Alex…It’s that I don’t trust the other Guardians.

Alex: Yami.

Yami: Try to get Yumeka back. Shouldn’t be too hard; her emotions switch like lightning! Wait– does that even make sense? I think it does. Might ask Yuki– Nevermind.

Alex: How do we get her back?

Yami: I don’t know, figure it out!

Alex: (sarcastic) That’s such great help, thanks.

Yami: At least I’m offering some kind of help.

Alex: True, I didn’t know what to expect.

Yami: So, you agree?

Alex: Huh?

Yami: You agree that I’m helpful?

Alex: No! I was just–

Yami: Listen, Alex. I’m just wasting your time here. Get back in there and try to get Yumeka to appear. I’m sure you’ll be out in no time, I know you’re smart.

Alex: Wait, Yami! You can’t just–

Yami: I have to go. I’ll see you soon, Alex. Thanks for not stopping me.

(Beat)

Yami: Oh, and think about my offer!

Alex: What offer– Oh.

Yami: Time for you to get back–

Alex: Yami, wait! I– Goodbye, Yami. Hope to see you soon…in a different location.

Yami: Oh.

Yami: (embarassed) Yeah, yeah. See you.

(Alex is back with the others)

Yuki: What did he say?

Alex: We need to figure out a way to get Yumeka back. Only she can help us.

Miyu: Wonderful! Just what I wanted to hear.

Miyu: Guys, hold on!

Ayaka: What’s up, Miyu?

Miyu: Yumeka told us that she can use her power only for a few moments, right? That means she should re-appear soon!

Ayaka: That’s right!

Alex: I guess.

Yuki: Do we just wait for Yumeka to appear, then–

(Yumeka appears)

Yumeka: No! No! I was supposed to be gone for longer! Why is Yami doing this to me?!

Alex: Yume--

Yumeka: No! I know what you think. Just leave me!

Yuki: Yumeka, it’s okay. Please, just let us see Kaito.

(She thinks about it)

Yumeka: Fine! You’re all so helpless without me.

(They're now in the White Void)

Mizuki: Kaito!

Yumeka: They don’t remember.

Mizuki: Right.

Alex: Uhh, Axel?

Axel: Just because we’re best friends doesn’t mean I can make them remember.

Mizuki: Please?

Axel: No.

Ayaka: It doesn’t hurt to try!

(Axel considers it)

Axel: All right, but don’t expect this to work.

(Axel goes up to Kaito)

Axel: Hey Kaito, remember me?

Kaito: No?

Axel: Well, I tried.

Kaito: I thought mom never let anyone in here…Actually, I thought NO ONE could get in here.

Axel: Yumeka’s brother “erased” your memory.

Kaito: What? Who?

Alex: We’re running out of time!

Yumeka: Just scream “plot twist” at them and they’ll remember!

Axel: Wait. I have a better idea. Kaito?

Kaito: Where is she– Yeah?

Axel: Try using your power for just a moment.

Kaito: There is no water here! I can’t make it appear out of nowhere like my–

(Yumeka makes some water appear)

Kaito: How the–

(Yumeka coughs)

Kaito: You did this?!

Axel: It’s a dream! Now use your power, Kaito.

Kaito: All right.

(Kaito can't do it)

Kaito: What?! How is this possible?! It’s not because of the dream, is it? Is this real? What is wrong with me?!

Axel: Kaito, you got Corrupted.

Kaito: Corrupted? Am I okay? How did I get…Help!

Alex: Kaito! It’s okay.

Kaito: I still…I still have both powers but…

Mizuki: BOTH powers?

Yuki: Forget it.

Kaito: Axel?

Axel: Yes! You remember!

Kaito: Of course I remember! After all, I have the best memory.

Kaito: What day is it?

(Light and back to reality)

Kaito: Feels good to be back!

Ayaka: It does, doesn’t it?

(Miyuki sits down)

Miyuki: You’re awake! I was so worried!

Mizuki: Why weren’t you there?

Miyuki: Oh! I…didn’t want to go down there with you guys. Sorry! I just..yeah…I dipped.

Axel: Come on! We can still stop him!

Ayaka: Axel...

Alex: It’s too late.

Axel: No, it's not!

Mizuki: Axel, you need to accept it.

Axel: It’s-- It’s not-- It’s not fair!

Kaito: Looks like we’ve lost this fight.

Yumeka: But then…it means we can’t fight anymore! He’s too strong…

Miyu: We’ll try anyway.

Ayaka: And it doesn’t matter if we die saving this timeline!

(Silence)

Miyuki: I think it does matter.

Ayaka: I was exaggerating. Don’t worry.

Kaito: So, this is it? We’re not stopping him now?

Yuki: No.

(Yumeka looks away)

Yuki: Or ever.

Kaito: Whaaat?

Yuki: We can try to reason with him, instead.

Yumeka: Really?!

Yuki: Yes, really. I know how much you care.

(Yumeka hugs Yuki)

Yumeka: Thank you, Yuks!

Mizuki: I guess we’ll just have to wait for now.

(Mizuki stares out of a window)

Mizuki: Hopefully, not for too long.

(The light gets darker)
