^ tabi THAT WAS BEYOND AWESOMEEEE
Well, since there seems to be no continuation as yet...
#cue OP: sprinter - Kalafina
*Keiko, Hikaru and Waa-tan arrive back at Wakana's apartment*
Hikaru: Where did everyone go?
Keiko: They probably just all went home
Now, let's grab something to eat...
*opens fridge* *gets buried under pile of gyoza*
Hikaru: I-is that all Wakana has in the house?!!
*they search around the pantry, on shelves, in cupboards, closets, wardrobes, under bed...they find nothing but stashes and stashes of gyoza*
Hikaru and Keiko: We'll just have to eat this gyoza for dinner, then…
Waa-tan:
Keiko: Awww, you're so clueless, guess I'll just have to feed you bit by bit, then!
Open wide, Waa-tan!
Hikaru: *intercepts spoon and steals gyoza*
Waa-tan: *biting air*
Keiko: H-Hikaru...that was meant for Waa-tan…
Hikaru:: O-oh, really - ? Ha. Ha. I thought you said
Hii-tan
*inside, thinking*
Keiko: Say 'aaahhhh' Waa-tan
*As spoon approaches Waa-tan's mouth, Hikaru once again can't stand it and intercepts the mouthful of gyoza*
Waa-tan: *accidentally bites tongue* K-K-Kei-Kei-ko........
*cries*
Keiko: *heart breaking* H-HIKARUUU YOU MADE HER CRY OMGSDFKJWNEKJFBSKDFJ
Come here quickly, Waa-tan please don't cry, it's very painful for me seeing you crying
*pat pat* *huggles*
Waa-tan:
Hikaru: *sulks in corner* *thinking* I want the old Wacchan back...
*Keiko finally manages to get a gyoza into Waa-tan's mouth*
Waa-tan: *chomps*
Keiko and Hikaru: Sh-SHE JUST SPAT OUT A GYOZA?!!
This...is really...not Wakana at all...
*In the Palace of the Eternal Blue*
#cue: forebodings (Fate/Zero)
Wakana: For some reason...I'm not feeling so good right now...
Did I catch a cold or something?
But I'm the Ice Queen...I
rule over Coldness...
Shark Legion: Wakana-sama!! ARE YOU OKAY?!!!!!
Wakana: *cough cough* Yes, yes I'm fine...my poor little babies, I've been very mean to you lately, haven't I?
I don't know why but -
Wh-what was that shining blaze of light coming from outside just now?! Did the portal open?!
*looks into crystal ball* WE HAVE INTRUDERS!
I thought I told you to seal the portal so that no one could ever enter! Are you incapable of carrying out even that simple command?!!!
Shark Legion: WE'RE SO SORRY PLEASE FORGIVE US WAKANA-SAMA!!
Wakana: BRUTUS!
DEAL WITH IT!
Brutus: H-Hai!
*flees with rest of Shark Legion, thinking* What is happening to our beloved Queen Wakana-sama?! She never used to lose her temper like this, even if we messed up! It's like...as if her heart really is becoming made of ice! As if the kind and compassionate side of her has gone completely missing!
*Outside the Palace of the Eternal Blue*
*Kaori, Yuriko and Yuuka land in the snow*
Kaori:
Yuuka: I-It's f-f-f-f-f-freezing h-h-h-here! H-h-how does W-Wakana even s-s-s-s-survive?!!
Yuriko: Huh?
Yuuka and Kaori: Y-Yuriko-nee...so relaxed...sugoi…
Yuriko: Anyways, which way should we go?
This is must be Wakana's palace...
Not a bad joint...
Kaori: Well, logically, the Queen of the Castle always sits the throne at the very heart of the palace, right? So if we just follow the main corridor the whole way in, we should end up there at some point...eh?
*Yuuka and Yuriko already heedlessly entering castle*
Kaori: HEY! Wait up! Don't just go wandering in, BAKA!
*Back in Throne Room*
Wakana: argughhuh...I really feel...bad...going...to...puke...
*head spinning* What's wrong with me?
MUST NOT SHOW WEAKNESS!
I already discarded the weaker side of myself!
.......
errghhghhh...I must have caught a cold form the damn draughts in this place...this is why I like sharks and their immune systems...
In fact, just thinking about how strong and awesome they are makes me feel better already
*Back in Palace*
Yuuka: *looking at floating green Kalafina Salad Bowl ™* Hey, I wonder what this thing does
Kaori: BAKA DON'T TOUCH I -
Yuuka: *touch*
*Shark Army Legion comes storming in*
Yuriko:
Kaori:
Lieutenant Brutus: HAHAHAHAHA! You fell for our ingenious trap, touching the Cursed Salad Bowl and thus alerting us to your location!
Kaori: I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH IT!
Yuuka: I'm sorry!
Brutus: Too late for that now, fools! Prepare to die by our blade! For Queen Wakana-sama! Ikuzoooooooo, mai comrades!!!
Kaori: Yuuka! Yuriko! Watch out!!
*valiantly leaps in front of them, gets hit on head by shark-fin-karate-chop*
Yuuka: K-KAO-KUNNNNN!!!
Yuriko: MAI BELOVED KAORI?!!! HOW DARE YOU TOUCH HER. You'll pay for that, fishies...
Shark Legion:
*Sudden dark aura emanating from Yuriko*
Shark Legion: Wh-what's with this sudden presence...it...feels like...that girl...from last time...
*Yuriko switches to her secret dark alter ego, YURIKO*
YURIKO: HELLO EVERYONE. IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE BEEN OUT TO
PLAY...
Shark Legion:
Kaori: *lying on ground* Wh-what the heck, Yuri-nee?! Since when..?!!
Yuuka: Ohoho. Well then, since you've revealed your true colours, Yuriko...perhaps it's time for me to reveal mine...
Kaori: *spluttering* Y-Yuuka's - true - colours - ?!! What true colours?! What's with all of this suddenly?!!
#cue: the Sword of Promised Victory ~ Fate/Zero ver.~ (Fate/Zero)
Saber Yuuka: Yes.
Behold...
*pulls something unseen from her coat* I unleash my INVISIBLE WIND!!
*blast of air knocks everyone back to reveal Yuuka holding a shining sword*
Shark Legion: M-MASSAKA?!! C-Could that be? The legendary sword which can cut through anything, which was once wielded by the King of Knights - King Arthur himself - the fabled EXCUCUMBER?!!!
Saber Yuuka: The secret to my ultimate speed-of-light cucumber chopping! EKKKKSSSSS-KUUUU-KUMBEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR
*swings sword around*
Shark Legion:
Kaori:
YURIKO: What do you think you're doing, Yuuka, stealing all my fun? I want to bash some sharks too!
ACTIVATE: MYSTIC VOICE OF DEATH PERCEPTION!
Saber Yuuka: Let's take them down together!
#cue: paradigm (Kara no Kyoukai)
*epic battle scene between Shark Legion and YURIKO/Saber Yuuka*
Kaori: Not...human...they're...all...not…
human *experiencing crumbling of illusion of her reality What's next? Maybe Kajiura-sensei is actually an ancient Goddess of Music reincarnated who can create and destroy worlds with her songs of -
*realises they are in the world of Eternal Blue, which was an FJ song originally composed by Yuki Kajiu-* WHY DO I END UP BEING THE ONLY HUMAN?!!!
*meanwhile, epic battle rages on*
*Back in throne room, where sounds of the fighting, with the occasional blood-curdling scream, float in*
Wakana: *finally loses it* BRUTUS!!!!!!
*over Telepathic Intercom ™ *
Brutus: *parrying Saber Yuuka's blows* Wh-what is it, Wakana-sama?!
I'm kind of...busy...right now...
Wakana: WILL YOU STOP THAT INCESSANT RACKET THIS MINUTE!
I HAVE A SPLITTING HEADACHE AND THAT INFERNAL NOISE IS NOT HELPING!
Brutus: B-But Wakana-sama! You told us to get rid of the intruders!
Wakana: OH, JUST HURRY UP AND BRING THEM TO ME ALREADY!
Brutus: But I thought you wanted us to -
Wakana: JUST. DO. IT.
Brutus: As - as you wish, Wakana-sama
*thinking* Queen Wakana has really changed recently! I wonder what's wrong?!! ALRIGHT EVERYONE! CEASE FIRE! TRUCE! TRUUUUUCE!
Saber Yuuka Had enough, have you?
Brutus: You came to find Queen Wakana-sama, right? Well, we'll just take you to her now.
YURIKO, Saber Yuuka and Kaori: ...eh?
It was that easy? *being escorted to throne room by Shark Legion*
*Back in Throne Room, Wakana fuming silently as her sharks and guests enter*
YURIKO, Saber Yuuka and Kaori: W-Wakana?
*shocked by Wakana's change in appearance, for she is much thinner than before, several shades paler, with dark circles under her eyes and a faint shadow across her face. Her usual cheerful expression replaced by a dark, brooding look that seems almost unrecognisable upon that normally sweet round face*
tabete.mio said:
Wakana: *gazing moodily out window at her Eternal Blue kingdom of blizzards and snow* So...
You have arrived at last...
Kaori: Wakana? Are you feeling okay? You don't look very...well...
Wakana: What do you mean?
I feel fine! I feel better than ever befo - gyack-ack
*cough cough cough cough cough - wipes blood from mouth*
Everyone:
Kaori: Wakana! Please come back to the real world with us!
You don't belong here in this cold, dark world! You're too happy! And bright! It'll destroy you!
Wakana: *recovering slightly* SILENCE FOOL!
Pah!
*bitterly* What do
you know?
Kaori: I know that Keiko has almost given up hope on your return! Please come back! She's...uhm...devastated without you!
Wakana: *yet even more bitterly* HAHAHAHAHA. If she's so desperate, then why isn't she here with you three?
Kaori: That - er...uh…
*looks to YURIKO and Saber Yuuka, who start whistling casually, suddenly very interested in the ceiling*
Wakana: HAH. I thought so. She is completely taken in by my weak and pitiful other self.
So, even she accepts that we must inevitably part ways.
What more needs to be said, then? It is futile to come after me in this world. It's time you realised that, Kaori.
Kaori: W-Waachan!
*shocked* What's happened to you? You've - changed! You'd never speak like this to your friends before!
Wakana: Friends?! WHAT FRIENDS?! I HAVE NO FRIENDS! An Ice Queen has no need for such foolish things!
Kaori: I-IS THIS REALLY WAKANA?!
*In the room, even the Sharks shift and fidget uncomfortably after this statement*
YURIKO: Psst, Kaori...I used my MYSTIC VOICE OF DEATH PERCEPTION (which resonates at too high a frequency for living sensors to detect) to see into the depths of Wakana's soul…
Kaori: ...and?!
YURIKO: I saw...a huge chunk of it was missing! Like it had been gouged out forcefully! That large piece was replaced by a block of ice, and that ice was slowly devouring and covering what remained of Wakana's soul, making it turn cold and black!
Kaori and Yuuka: M-MAJI?! Then...that means...at this rate...?
YURIKO: Yes. The Ice will consume Wakana's heart and soul entirely...and she will become...the ULTIMATE. ICE. QUEEN.
Sharks: What's the ULTIMATE. ICE. QUEEN?!!
YURIKO: She will become so cold and hard-hearted that one day, she won't even be able to find it in her heart to love sharks anymore. Or gyoza.
Or anything. And eventually, she'll become so emotionless and cold that she could even destroy the world without a second thought, and not feel or care a single bit about it.
Everyone:
Wakana: Nonsense!
It wasn't even that big a piece of my soul that I gave away! It was just the tiny weak spot I had for Keiko.
YURIKO: ..........Well.
*smirking* Turns out it wasn't such a tiny part of your heart after all.
Wakana: Wh-what?!
NONSENSE!
Don't fool around with me!
Saber Yuuka: Awwww
I always knew you cared more about Keiko than you let on, Wacchan
Wakana: SHADDUP!
*blushing furiously*
YURIKO: The MYSTIC VOICE OF DEATH PERCEPTION never lies, Wakana.
It always reveals the truth. And the truth is - your feelings for Keiko make up a crucial part of who you are - and without that...well, you just cannot feel whole or complete.
Wakana: Bollocks!
Kaori: But Yuriko, why on earth would Wakana want to split her soul in the first place?
Or even escape from the real world and attempt to hole herself up here? The Wakana we always knew was never like that! In fact, she only started acting strange
after the first time HIKARU banished her to the Eternal Blue! Before that, she was perfectly normal. Of course, she still resisted Keiko's advances, but she never tried to run away so desperately...
YURIKO: yes, Kaori...
upon deeper inspection with my MYSTIC VOICE OF DEATH PERCEPTION, I can see...the original shard of the STONE COLD Ice Crustal which embedded itself within the core of Wakana's heart!
There! That is the root of it all! It corrupted her and influenced her to become the Ultimate Ice Queen!
Wakana: Codswallop!!
Sharks: What can we do to change her back, then?!
Wakana: OI! JUST WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON, BAKASHARKS?!!
Sharks: S-Sorry Wakana-sama!
*retreat to dark corner*
YURIKO: The answer lies...with
Saber Yuuka!
Saber Yuuka: With me?
Yuriko: Of course!
Don't you recall? The Blessed Blade of your Holy Sword, Excucumber -
Saber Yuuka: - can cut through anything! That's right! It could even cut out the Stone Cold Ice Crystal embedded within Wakana's heart!
Genius!
Wakana: That sword...can cut through souls?!
Saber Yuuka: Yes...
Wakana: Okay...
Cut me free from these guitar strings -
*everyone only just realising she's still tied by Keiko's Unbreakable S-knot ™
Wakana: - and then you can free me from this Stone Cold Ice Crystal thing and we can all go back to happy and normal.
Kaori: Yuuka, wait - she -
Saber Yuuka: Okay!
*cuts string*
Wakana: MWAHAHAHA!!!
*grabs Excucumber off Yuuka, pushing her, Kaori and Yuriko into a cage*

^(this pic showing Yuuka's "doesn't-even-have-time-to-be-surprised" look after Wakana snatches Excucumber from her)
YURIKO, Saber Yuuka and Kaori:
Kaori: YUUKA!
Yuuka: I'm sorry! I'm not used to the straightforward Wacchan suddenly being such a devilish and cunning fiend!
YURIKO: Wakana...you would never have betrayed your friends like this before...that Stone Cold Ice Crystal really has changed you! Please! Fight it! Turn back!
Wakana: Ha. As I said before, an Ice Queen does not require friends. I'm fine being alone the way I am!
*to her Shark Legion* Feed them to the Megalodon Beast!
*collective gasp across room - even the Sharks look horrified*
Lieutenant Brutus: B-But Wakana!
The Megalodon Beast...is the most...ferocious creature known to the universe! You would not subject your friends to such a cruel and agonising death, would you?!
Wakana: FRIENDS? WHAT FRIENDS? HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT FOR YOU DIMWITS TO UNDERSTAND?!
I. HAVE. NO. FRIENDS! I. DON’T.
NEED FRIENDS!
NOW HURRY UP AND DO AS I SAY OR I'LL HAVE YOU FINNED ALIVE FOR SHARK FIN SOUP!
Shark Legion: *cowering* Sh-She threatened to turn Brutus into SHARK FIN SOUP!!!
Wakana: I
see. So. It's come to this, has it?
*to Kaori/YURIKO/Saber Yuuka* It seems you have even managed to turn my once-loyal Shark Army against me...well...
This means I'll just have to...
*Suddenly turns and kicks Sharks into cage along with Kaori/YURIKO/Saber Yuuka* ...IMPRISON THEM ALONG WITH YOU!! MWHAAHAHAHA
*evil laughter*
Shark Legion: B-But Wakana-sama!! DOUSHITEEEE??!!!! WE RABUED YOOOUUUUUUUU!!!!
Wakana: Ha! I don't need you fickle, tender-hearted useless sharks!
Kaori: I can't believe these words are coming out of her mouth!
Brutus: But without us - how will you succeed in your plan for world domination?!
Kaori: WAIT - HOLD ON A SEC...WORLD DOMINATION?!!!
Why didn't we hear about this -
Wakana: FOOLS! Do you not remember? I still have a secret squad of Elite Ninja Sharks who exclusively and unwaveringly obey my every command, unlike you. And I have the power of the Mighty Megalodon Beast under my control!! I will win no matter what!
Mwahahahaha -ack
*cough cough cough cough* *collapses to knees whilst wiping away dramatic blood trickle from corner of mouth*
Brutus: W-Wakana-sama! You are obviously still weak and in ill health! Please let us out so we can fetch the Grey Nurse Shark
ohoho see what I did there to heal you!
Wakana: Weak?!
Weak?!! Did you just call me WEAK?!
Captives: Big...mistake...
Wakana: I've had it with you people!
Ninja Squad! Assemble!!
#cue: assassin (Fate/Zero)
*second legion of mysteriously-clad-in-black sharks leap down from the shadows of the ceiling rafters*
Shark Legion: It is our rival faction!
*growling*
Mako, Leader of Elite Shark Ninjas: *bowing* Wakana-sama, we come to answer your summons.
Wakana: Mako-dono...I know I can always trust you to get the job done
Go through the magic portal to the real world, hunt down that weak mushy other half of me...and KILL IT!
Captives:
Wakana: I hereby bestow this Holy Blade, Excucumber, upon you. Use it well and wisely.
Mako: Hai. As you command, Wakana-sama, Soon-To-Be-Ultimate-Ice-Queen-Ruler-Of-The-World.
Kaori: Again with the world domination?!! WHAT IS THIS REALLY?!!! Wakana, you're not
really going to
kill Waa-tan, are you?!!
You couldn't kill anyone! You're so gentle! And kind! And -
*trails off*
Wakana: That part of me is dead now. I will do anything to achieve my goal!
Mako, make sure you kill that Waa-tan imbecile! And eliminate anyone who gets in your way, understand? ANYONE.
Now go!
*Elite Ninja Shark Squad disappear into portal*
Yuuka: Oh my god, she's actually seriously trying to kill Waa-tan!
YURIKO: Wakana...if you do this...
you do realise that Keiko and Hiichan will defend Waa-tan with their lives, don't you?
Wakana: Of course!
And why should I care?
Captives:
Wakana: FWAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHA - kyack
*cough cough cough splutter splutter splutter*
~back in the real world~
*since they could find nothing but gyoza, Ice Latte (which Waa-tan spat out in a heartbeat even when Keiko tried feeding her mouth-to-mouth and a few turnips which really disgusted Keiko, Hikaru was left home to take care of Waa-tan whilst Keiko went out to buy some pure meat and ice cream "real food", as she called it*
Hikaru: *poke poke*
Waa-tan:
Hikaru: *poke poke poke poke*
Waa-tan:
Keiko: *opening door like a husband returning from work * I'm hoooomee!
Hii-tan? Waa-tan?
WAA-TAN!!
*for Waa-tan has fallen over unsteadily onto her face*
Waa-tan: *stomach rumbles*
Keiko: The poor girl has...fainted from hunger! Hikaru! I thought I told you to take care of her! Why didn't you feed her those turnips we found?!
Hikaru: Oh, those?
She refused to eat them from me
...so I just ate them myself...
Seems like she'll only eat when Keiko feeds her Those two are so lovey-dovey now it feels like I'm completely unwanted and invisible sometimes…
Waa-tan: Keiko~?
*shuffling weakly over to cuddle Keiko's leg*
Keiko: SWEET MOTHER OF GODSIBB
- I - I - MY HEART CAN'T TAKE THIS! SHE'S LIKE A HELPLESS LITTLE KITTEN I JUST WANT TO SQUEEZE HER TO DEATH
*clutching at Waa-tan*
Hikaru: Okay. You know, I'll just sit over here. It's not like I'm feeling, you know...unloved...or left out...or anything...
Keiko: *thinking* And yet...somehow...
*looks down at Waa-tan's adoring gaze* This kawaii expression...still somewhat isn't quite the same as Wakana's sweet yet at times mischievous round face...
she doesn't have Wakana's exciting feistiness...or that thrilling sly look when she's about to reveal something embarrassing about me to the radio show ho -
WHY AM I THINKING ABOUT THIS AGAIN?! Didn't I decide to give up on the old Wakana? But why -
*Suddenly, a burst of light fills the room, followed by deadly flashes of metal*
Keiko: *leaping into action with Keiko Lightning Speed Reflexes ™ DUCK!
*pulls down Hikaru and Waa-tan What is this?! An ambush? But who - ?
HIKARU: *just took over Hikaru's body* I do believe that this is...
*inspecting weapon suspiciously* A Gyoza Shuriken?!
Ninja Sharks!
Keiko: Don't they work for Wakana? But why would she - I thought we had reached an agreement!
HIKARU: Think later, fight now! You and me should be okay, but we have to get Waa-tan outta here!
Here! I found these
*tosses Wakana's home-karaoke microphones to Keiko* We can use them as weapons!
#cue: Dogfight (Fate/Zero)
Keiko: *swinging mic around by cord* They're actually much heavier than they look
These must be the mics that Wakana uses to build up arm strength for holding a microphone during concerts!
Ninja Sharks: *gets thrown out window by HIKARU *
Mako: Hiiiyyyaaaaaaa!
*fighting Keiko, who is having a hard time due to the power of Excucumber*
Keiko: *after Wakana's coffee table being used as a shield is sliced to pieces like a cucumber* What the heck kind of a sword is that?!!
Mako: Prepare to die, villain!
*about to stab at momentarily disarmed Keiko*
Waa-tan: Keikoooooo
*leaps in front of Keiko protectively, getting slashed across chest by Excucumber* *collapses unconscious and bleeding*
#cue: fatality #2 (Hokuto no Ken) plays whilst Waa-tan falls in slo-mo for dramatic effect
Keiko: OH MAI GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
YOU'LL PAY DEARLY FOR THAT, YOU BAKASHARKSTARD!
*suddenly powered up to MACHO HAREM BOSS RAGE MODE*
HIKARU: Ke-Keiko!
Keiko: *throws microphone weapon at Mako, hits stovetop in kitchen in process, which bursts into flames that quickly spread around the apartment, the room descending into a red and orange smoky haze*
tabete.mio said:
*momentary epic battle shot*
HIKARU: Keiko! I got your back!
Keiko: LET'S TAKE THIS BAKASHARK DOWNNNNNNNN!
Mako: Nuuooooo! I am injured! And fire! I am a creature of the water! Must flee! Well, I have already slashed the target with Excucumber...it should be enough!
*flees*
HIKARU: Quick, Keiko! Grab Waa-tan! We have to get out of here before the place burns down!
*Waa-tan's lifeless body in tow, they escape out the window*
~meanwhile back at the Eternal Blue Palace~
Wakana: Now...
what shall I do with all of you?
Captives:
Kaori: YURIKO! Why are you sleeping at a time like this?! We need your abilities!
Yuuka: It seems like YURIKO has retreated back to the meta-world...Yuriko was already strained too much
And without Excucumber, I cannot do anything either...
Sharks: *trying to chew through bars* No use...
these were made to be sharkbite-proof
Wakana: Ohhhh,
I know what to do with all of you now...you can all become feed for my magnificent Beast!
RELEASE THE MEGALODON!
Kaori: Noooo I don't want to dieeeee!!
I'm still young! I still haven't lived my life yet! I want to fall in love! And get married!
Yuriko: *waking up* Is that so, Kaori?
Well, actually...this might be a bit sudden...but I've always loved you!
I've always been jealous of Wakana and Keiko's dramatic romance...let's embark on a love story that's as excitingly adventurous and intense as theirs!
Kaori:
Yuuka + Sharks: S-sudden confession?!!
*Yuriko's maiden heart manifested! *
Yuriko: ...eh?
*awkward silence continues* Okay, sorry, forget I said that...
~Suddenly, at around the same time Waa-tan got stabbed in the real world, Wakana collapses onto the ground ~
Wakana: *gasping and coughing blood* Arrrghhhh...
*falls dramatically to the floor unconscious*
#cue: fatality #2 (Hokuto no Ken)
All:
Sharks: Wakana-samaaaaaaa
Yuuka: Yuriko!! What happened?!
Yuriko: I don't know! I can't use my MYSTIC VOICE OF DEATH PERCEPTION without YURIKO! She's retreated to the meta-world to rest! I can't contact her right now
Kaori: Mako must have killed Waa-tan in the real world!
And - and - does that mean Keiko and Hikaru were killed too?
OhmygodohmygodohmygodWHATDOWEDOWHATDOWEDO?!!!!!
~Suddenly, a deep rumbling sound is heard from the earth~
Sharks: Oh...noesssss... That's the Megalodon Beast awaking!
Once it gets here it will run completely amok and devour us all! But Wakana-sama is unconscious and she's the only one who can control it! We're all going to die if we don't think of a plan to escape!!
Kaori and Yuuka: *curled up in corners of cage in pre-imminent-death-situation-calm* Let's just...wait for our deaths
Confess your regrets...walk towards the light...
Sharks:
Yuriko: *calling into her mind* YURIKO where are you?! You are the only one who can save us now!
~back in real world, at Hikaru's apartment, where Waa-tan lies lifeless in a pool of blood on the couch~
#cue: fatality (Hokuto no Ken)
Keiko:
Hikaru: *returned to her body* Keiko...
Keiko: *gasping and choking with grief* N-No! Don't speak! I can't take it!
Waa-tannnnnnnn
Hikaru: Keikoooo
*hugging and crying*
Keiko: *headbanging against wall* It's all because I was too weak! I couldn't protect her! What's the use of being a super macho harem boss if I can't even protect my girls?! Why is it always like this?!! I must return to the mountains to train!
Hikaru: Keiko, please don't beat yourself up over this! It wasn't your fault!
*looks at Waa-tan's unconscious form and bursts into more tears*
Keiko: *throws self at Waa-tan's lifeless body in despair* Waa-tan! You died to save me! You were so pure and innocent - why did you have the be the one to die?! It should have been me! MEEEEE!!
Hikaru: Keiko, don't say that!
*checking Waa-tan's pulse* Look, she's still alive!
Only barely, but she's alive, Keiko!
Keiko: YOKATTAAAAAAAAAA
*still crying and clinging to Waa-tan*
Hikaru: Keiko, we must return to the Eternal Blue World and confront Wakana! Or else Waa-tan will die!
Keiko: *sniffing* Okay...should we go get Kaori, Yuriko and Yuuka?
Do you know where they are?
Hikaru: I'll try calling them on their mobiles...
~back in Eternal Blue World~
Brutus: Hey, do you hear that?
Kaori: *bleakly* The hellish rumbling of our impending doom?
Yes, I hear it.
Shark: No! Not that! There's another faint sound...coming from...
*stares at Yuuka's pocket*
Yuuka: *reaches into pocket* Ohh, someone's calling me!
Yuriko: It's Hikaru?!
We're saved!
Yuuka: Man, the connection is really bad here...moshi moshi? hello? HELLOOOO?
~back in real world~
Hikaru: Ehh, what?! I can't hear you, Yuuka, you're breaking up! You're eating in a blue Mega-what?
*speculates to Keiko* Mega-Supermarket, maybe?
Keiko: Why are they shopping at a time like this?!
*trying to attend to Waa-tan's first aid*
~back in Eternal Blue~
Yuuka: I said, we're in the Eternal Blue world, about get eaten by a MEGALODON!
I can't hear what she's saying properly...The blizzard outside is interfering with the signal...
Kaori: Well...actually, I finally thought of the superpower that I have.
*suddenly not depressed at all* That is - I just so happen to have the power…
Yuuka: ...of teleportation?
Yuriko: ...of melting shark-proof cage bars and slaying Megalodon beasts?
Kaori: ...of increasing phone reception!
Everyone else: Eh...?
Kaori: ...with the power of my voice and song!
Observe.

HIKARU:
YURIKO: Oh, it's just you. Long time no see, eh, HIKARU. How are you and your Other doing?
HIKARU: *sarcastically* Well, we're both still alive, aren't we?
Although she and her friends are so bothersome.
YURIKO: *pats on shoulder sympathetically* Ah, so you got caught up in this whole Ice Queen incident as well?
HIKARU: Yeeees...
*having some unfathomable thought that makes even YURIKO feel slightly uncomfortable* I have
YURIKO: Eh...y-yes...
*thinking* something doesn't feel quite right…her aura is...too ominous, even for an alter ego… So, HIKARU...you're a...pretty newly developed Alter Ego, deshou?
HIKARU: You could say that...
YURIKO: Well...erm...actually.
*changing tack* I noticed something strange about certain recent...incidents...that have occurred.
HIKARU: ...like?
YURIKO: Well, I didn't even tell my own Other Yuriko about this, since I wanted to be sure of it myself before jumping to any hasty conclusions,
but...why was it that when I investigated Wakana's soul with the MYSTIC VOICE OF DEATH PERCEPTION, I discovered that the Stone Cold Ice Crystal had in fact only been planted in her heart during that very first time she was warped forcibly into the Eternal Blue Realm? And that in fact, the spell weaving it into her soul had...well...
your magical signature?
HIKARU: *really, really friggin' SCARY FACE* OHOHO. I WONDER WHY...SEEMS LIKE YOU FOUND ME OUT.
*darkness swirling around her*
YURIKO: M-Massaka - you - ?!!!! It was
YOU all along who - from the beginning - ?!
HIKARU: YES! IT WAS ME! IHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I planted that Stone Cold Ice Crystal within Wakana's then-untainted soul when I transported her to the Eternal Blue world for the first time!
It reacted to the extreme low temperatures of that place and took root in her heart, corrupting her with unmeltable coldness!
*crazed laughter*
YURIKO: B-but why?!
We Alters exist to fulfil the wishes of our Others that they can't achieve, right? But Hikaru would never want that to happen to Wakana!
HIKARU: HAH! My puny Other self doesn't even know what it is she truly desires deep down in her heart...all that nonsense I told her about lack of sleep - well, yes it was part of it - but other than that, all of it was just really nonsense! Hikaru's true wish, deep down, which she doesn't even know herself - is to eliminate Wakana and have Keiko all to herself!
So that's what I'm doing! I concocted this elaborate plan just to get rid of Wakana once and for all, thus fulfilling Hikaru's secret wish of being Keiko's ONE AND ONLY FOR ALL ETERNITYYYY!!
YURIKO: You're crazy! That's not Hikaru's wish! You're just a crazy alter ego that's gone out of control!!
And she so completely
trusted you, even promised to catch up on more sleep - how could you betray her like this?!! I have to stop you and warn my Other self and the utahimes before it's too late!
HIKARU: IT ALREADY IS.
Did you really think I would reveal my masterful plan to you and still let you leave here alive?
YURIKO: Oh yeah? I'll fight you, if that's what it takes.
You may be young, strong and completely insane, but I have the power of experience on my side!
HIKARU: It's already too late for that!
I set up this trap a long while ago!
YURIKO: *suddenly crumples to her knees* Wh-what is this...
I feel all drowsy…
HIKARU: I'll put you into eternal slumber with my special ability - IN MY LONG FORGOTTEN CLOISTERED SLEEP!
With this, your brain signals slow down and your heart rate decreases, just as if you were actually falling asleep...but it doesn't stop just there...with my power, I can make your brain activity and heart rate continue to decrease so much that eventually it will all STOP! And you will enter a LONG FORGOTTEN CLOISTERED SLEEP and DIE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*more insane crazed laughter*
YURIKO: Nuooooo...must...warn...minna...
HIKARU: It's no use fighting it, YURIKO! Hikaru and Keiko trust me completely now since I 'helped' them so much! And no one else suspects even an inkling! I WIN!
Enjoy your long forgotten cloistered sleep, YURIKO.
YURIKO: must...save...them...somehow...
*eyelids close and darkness falls*
*sounds of HIKARU'S maniacal evil laughter fading into the Distance*

Jikai:
#cue: to be continued (Fate/Zero)
What will happen now that the two halves of Wakana/Waa-tan seem to be both lifeless and on the verge of death?
Did the power of Kaori's 'Calling' work?
Will Hikaru and Keiko be able to finally make contact with Yuuka, Kaori and Yuriko in the Eternal Blue world?
Will they be able to escape in time from the ravenous hunger of the approaching Megalodon Beast?
And what of YURIKO? Now that HIKARU'S true intentions have been discovered, will she be able to somehow get a warning to her Other Self Yuriko in time, or will she be doomed to slowly fall into deathly sleep?
Tune in next time to find out!
Gosh, somehow things took a somewhat darker turn here, I feel...
Gomen...should we try to keep it light? Maybe there shouldn't be too much death...
Anyways...
Next person's pictures...
It's all round angst
