Blaise Pendragon
Cave Interior, Why Must We Suffer So
??? ~ Morning
---Enough was enough.
The longer this battle goes on, the more insane every part of it becomes, like a form of infectious madness had been spreading out from the bizarre cat creatures from the moment they had first appeared...
But now...
Now it was time to bring things to an end...
With your classmate having clearly descended towards some form of insanity -as could be evidenced by how she had seemingly outright tackled two of the creatures and drove them into the floor in a hug- you pull your spiritual power together to put together a form of decisive counter-attack, one spurred on into a sense of infinite urgency as more and more of the creatures pour out into the cave-!
It's got to stop.
This infectious madness -lunacy- that is like that brought down by the light of the full moon-!
Stop it-!
Stop it right now, before it is too late-!
Perhaps you have been caught up in this madness yourself?
No.
That is likely a certainty.
Having reached the point where you would willingly sic the PTA -and by extension your mother- on the school faculty, it is clear that just as common sense has abandoned you, so too must mercy and sanity fall away-!
Yes.
This must be the work of the school, a bizarre form of detention designed to rehabilitate students that didn't fit the ideal of what a "good student" should be, or at least...
That is the theory you cling to, because anything else...
Anything else would just be crazy.
You take advantage of your already insane momentum to push things to a climax.
From the floor to the ceiling, and then back down again without mercy.
Body trained on your opponent.
A flash of silver light, like a bullet from the moon falling as a divine hammer of justice to smash this illusion to pieces, and-
"NYAAAAAAA!"
A cursed sound accompanies the impact, the sound of an abominations cry, the static of a broken television set, and...
And...
And...

---When the static clears, only the Full Moon remains.
Or perhaps it would be more correct to say, when the static clears, the Full Moon appears to take it's place? The bizarre cat village is gone, Yuriko is gone, the cats are gone, even Kaguya is gone, there is only...
Blaise Pendragon.
Only you, sitting alone amidst a field of motionless grass and dim stars...
No.
That is also a lie, because there is someone else here, yes...
"Ah... Did my little trick actually make you upset...? I'm sorry."
The chuckling form of a silver-haired figure, sitting across from you on the grass, as if her existence had been revealed even as everything else had been 'blown away' by your last attack...
"I thought it was rather funny myself, but if you mean to hold a grudge against me... Then perhaps we can be even for what happened back when we were kids instead?"
The voice talks to you in a familiar manner, and indeed... She certainly looks familiar to you, to the point where -visually speaking- she isn't that far off from a certain A.I of yours, but...
---The voice is different.
---The tone of voice is lightly regal, like a princess that was doing her best to hide that fact, and-
"I'm a bit surprised to see you dislike cats so much Blaise, but I suppose that particular cat is somewhat annoying..."
-who talks to you like you're familiar to her, and whose gaze pierces straight through you like the moon above, eliciting a light sense of danger, not hostility, but simply the revelation that someone is close to something that is 'potentially dangerous,' yes...
This is...
This... Is...
