Five female Spectre members are walking around a dark shadow hallway. As they passed the hallway, there appeared to be photos of nine different females in each frame. One asked, “ Do you think we are safe? I think we lost them” another replied, “Just keep your voice down. We are almost to the white door.” A psychotic giggle echoed throughout the corridor. The girls tried to run as fast as they could, but the door that was their exit closed in milliseconds before reaching the door. “ Oh, sweet child. Haven’t you ever heard that I always get the last laugh out of everything? You five signed a contract with me, and now you must do as I say, FOREVER!!!” Ryuu comes down from the sky as if he is floating.

“ Even if we did sign that contract. What makes you think we will do as you say!? We are human beings!”
Ryuu rolled his eyes to the back of his head, releasing a deep sigh of agony “ I was afraid you would say that, but nobody says no to me” he snapped his finger, and suddenly, the five specter members are pulled to the ground, opening a small white portal. The girls tried hard to escape the portal, but their gravitational pull was too strong. One cried out in horror while Ryuu laughed his mind out.

A creepy music box echoed in the concert hall. The stage blacks out; the five members are standing there like dolls as three other members from the portraits rise to the stage, ready to be controlled by Ryuu. A giant pair of black gloves with rainbow color LED fingertips floats in the ceiling. Strings started to appear on the five members. Each of them stood up and moved into their position. “Dance for me! DANCE!” Ryuu shouted. He started to control them.

What do you say

What if I ruled the world

Nobody knows

It means nothing to me

It's invisible, but you know it's mine

So, where do you see yourself

(This is the end)

I am running for the crown

I keep breathing when you drown

Six members pushed the two dolls (Rei and Erena) off the stage into a white portal to take their spotlight and the Aikatsu Crown.

I believe myself no doubt

My Lord

How come I never lost my faith?

They closed each other's eyelids as they stood side by side. The remaining members did a dance break moment

I believe myself no doubt

My Lord

How come I never lost my faith?

The members rested on one another as Ryuu came down from the sky, laughing maniacally, breaking the crown into pieces. Their time had ended.

Ryuu comes down from the sky, sitting on a ring. Spinning around and lying, then getting back up. Mist emerges from the white light while eight male spectre members enter the stage.

Who's controlling the game?

Who's conquering their fame?

(Who's controlling the game?)

(Who's conquering their fame?)

Two male spectre (Haneru and Mashiho) members gently picked up Ryuu carrying him on their shoulders. They gently placed him down. Each spectre member started kneeling as Ryuu started walking by. He grabs one Spectre member. He gently touches the Osamu’s head but pushes him to the ground; then, he pushes the other male dancers.

Who am I? ( who are you?)

We are all pawns in this game of life

I am a piece shining like no other

See me brilliantly glow as if I am un-bothered

Everyone got up, circling Ryuu. Pretending to worship him.

I am going higher like no other!

You'll then be loyal to me

They started doing the choreography. He twirls his staff. It started glowing, creating a giant color circle.

I'm the Ring Master controlling the destiny

I'll show you the side of me you've never seen before

look at my power and look at my face

Everyone is screaming just hearing my name

all of your hearts will be entirely mine

His aura started to shine like a star. The dancers started to get closer to Ryuu as if they were drawn to his aura. However, he doesn’t let them get any closer as he escapes. He runs to the front of the stage. His aura had grown bigger.

I'm shining like the northern star

fading the other stars away

until there is only one left

you can't ignore my light (ignore my light)

your hearts are already mine!

He gets in the ring once more. Spinning around like a disco ball while the dancers continued the dance. The chants got louder and louder per question as if they were under his spell.

Who's controlling the game? (Fans: Ryuu-chan!)

Who's conquering their fame? (Fans: Ryuu-chan!)

(Who's controlling the game?) (Fans: Ryuu-chan!)

(Who's conquering their fame?) (Fans: Ryuu-chan!)

The crowd screamed as if they wanted to lose their voices as the song ended with excitement.

After a minute, the stage changed into the Garden Of Dreams Stage. The birds were chirping; the children’s laughter was heard from a distance; flowers bloomed everywhere. Eight flowers started to grow around a small mountain. Each started to bloom one by one, revealing the four spectre members from the Crown Performance and four from Ring Master, all wearing white clothing. They looked around to see where they were at.

A music box started to play, and in command, the members covered their eyes and gently swayed left and right. Ryuu comes out of the small mountain as he sings the first line “ Mhm, yeah, just dream away”.

(Mhm, yeah, just dream away)

All the voices tell me to go sleep soundly

It's time to let your pain go away

Just dream a better dream

He started walking down the mountain as the flower sprouts (aka Spectre members) danced, then became the lead dancer standing in the front.

It's never a good day

I wish it could go better

I'm done with my " happily ever after"

We both know that it’s true

The dancers started to huddle around Ryuu, whispering in his ears.

Wow ( dream a better dream, let yourself fade away)

Wow ( dream a better dream, let yourself fade away)

I'll be in peace

He pushes the dancers away and jumps into a pile of red flowers. They followed Ryuu’s lead. Each of them plays in the field of flowers.

Imagine a better place

where the skies are always blue

everyday bright smile looking at you

and you couldn't care less about the world anymore

Dancers started to dance around Ryuu as he kneeled, looking at the crowd with a smile.

If you feel so much pain

Just dream away

don't worry, I'm here for you

We're not scared of what's ahead

Ryuu looks up at the sky, seeing a giant smile on the sun’s face. They both wave at each other.

A light from the sky just wants to give you a big high five.

Everyone started to follow Ryuu to a path though one was covered in flowers while the other did not.

A pile of daffodils is covering your way, but don't worry

We’ll just use the Chrysanthemum path

They took the other path laughing and chatting while Ryuu continued to sing, returning to the field of red flowers. Spectre danced around Ryuu and then spread apart as Ryuu sat on the ground, not knowing what to do. He gets back up, taking lead once again.

The world is deceiving you

It doesn't want you

What's the point of fighting if you can't ever win

everyone dreams away at some point, right?

Wow ( dream a better dream, let yourself fade away)

They pulled Ryuu around like a rag doll, whispering in his ear

Wow ( dream a better dream, let yourself fade away)

He smiles while tears start pouring out of him.

Oh, can't you understand?

Flowers burst from the group spreading everywhere. The Garden Of Dreams turned into nighttime. Pillows bloomed out of the flowers. It was time for everyone to have a great dream. Everyone started to fall asleep except for Ryuu. He tucked everyone to sleep. He danced alone as a giant flower started growing under his feet. It grew so tall that you could almost touch the Moon.

Just go dream a better dream

forget about all your pain, and dream of your loved ones

everything breathe you take feels like it's wrong

If you need to cry, just know that I am here

I'll be by your side at any point

Spectre members got up in a sleep-walking state in dance formation. He performed Robotic Axel’s brand appeal Synchronization Decode. Though because he is wearing a PR coord. The appeal looks a little different. The platforms have gotten bigger and spew tiny bits of electricity at one another, and the background glowing. As he reaches the sky, the platforms explode in unison, creating giant fireworks filled with binary code.

(I'll be in peace)

After the appeal, he lands on the grass, taking lead. The giant flower comes down at their level. Fireworks of yellow stars exploded in the sky as they continued to dance.

(A pile of daffodils is covering your way, but don't worry

We just take the red Chrysanthemum path; we're not scared of what's ahead

Do you feel the burden of pain? don't worry, I'm here

Dream a better dream, and I'll just go away

The dancers went back to sleep in the field of flowers as Ryuu wandered towards the giant flower. He lays on top of the flower, ready to fall asleep. He tucks himself in, saying the final verse.

Please, leave me alone

I just wanted to live my life(Lalala la la)

The flowers close, taking all of them to the ground. Leaving the only thing on stage is his hat (rainbow skulls and the gear stopped spinning).

## End

The crowd goes silent but quickly scream "Ryuu-chan" over and over.
