Contains spoilers to Universal Collision New Dawn!!
Location: Dreams from Afar Magic School - Library
Akaira: Yuka? What are you doing here?
Yuka: What are you six doing here, too?
Akaira: What do you think about Dreams from Afar Magic School?
Yuka: The school is fine, with everything needed for everyone here to become wizards.
Alicia: But what about the barrier?
A woman holding a staff approaches Akaira, Alicia, and Yuka.
Violet: That is protection for now, I am sure Luna has deployed some barrier to exclude itself from the outer world.
Ved overhears the conversation.
Ved: (Ain't no way I am buying that bullcrap, I saw Luna's barrier color be dark blue.)
Ved: (There is no way her barrier would be green.)
Ved: [Approaches Yuka] Are you sure you think the barrier IS green?!
Yuka: Yes, do you have a problem with it?
Ved: [Angry] I have witnessed the true color of Luna's barrier. There is no way her barrier is green!
Yuka: I am sorry, either go back to your dorm or I force-dismiss you.
CarlosYT: What is going on?!
CarlosYT: Ved?! Why are you pointing your sword at Yuka?!
Iiko: [Joins in alongside CarlosYT] We can surely talk this one out!
Yuka: Recently, Luna has changed her barrier to green, and I have a photo to prove it.
Yuka gives a photo to the group.
Akaira: Something feels off...
Akaira pin points the oddity of the picture.
Akaira: This staff isn't Luna's staff...
Rina: Yes, do you think it's odd for her to use that staff? I saw her actual staff on the first day.
Ved: Exactly, she always wields a staff with the wood curved to hold the orb, her source of power. However, the one you see there...
Ved: IS NOT LUNA!!
CarlosYT: I think I see where you are coming at. So you're saying that SOMEONE ELSE is taking the disguise of Luna and placing the barrier?
Yuka: That only puts one person in question.
Saikana passes by and is called by Yuka.
Yuka: Saikana, was that you placing the barrier?
Saikana: Not at all. I was in the small courtyard with the class I was given.
CarlosYT: Wasn't there some monster in said courtyard?
Saikana: Yes, but it seems some students from Luna's class have properly dealt with the monster.
Iiko sees a fake bookcase with a book turned horizontally.
Iiko: Why is this book facing horizontally?
Saikana gives no reaction.
Saikana does some magic with her hands and forces the bell to be heard.
Iiko: Seems like it's time for dismissal!
CarlosYT: You seven, not you Saikana, Violet, and Yuka. Come to my dorm, we have to talk about something that bothers me.
Rina: Sure, I'm all free for today.
CarlosYT: Everyone on board?
Everyone but Rina and CarlosYT give a nod.
CarlosYT: Nice, let's go there.
Location: Dreams from Afar Magic School - Dorms
CarlosYT: We're finally here.
Alicia: Your dorm is bigger than ours, how did you get one?
CarlosYT: Honestly, I made a reservation a month before I asked Akaira.
Akaira: How did you even know of the school?
CarlosYT: The same figure I saw defeating my parallel self gave me some recommendation on Bitter.
CarlosYT shows the private message to the group.
CarlosYT: This thing, but the next thing I will say will sound crazy.
CarlosYT: Orthros came to my room to give me a package just last night containing a computer, immune to whatever is going on with the internet here.
CarlosYT opens the computer and pulls up a news article about Dreams from Afar Magic School.
CarlosYT: Here. Two years ago, the school went into an endless winter.
Alicia: And what does it have to do with the problem?
CarlosYT: If you look at the witness list, you see the following names: Luna, Saikana, and Lumine. That was two years ago, but what if we go way into the past on the first year?
CarlosYT: Here it says on the 1891 article witness of endless winter: Saikana, Sol, and Haku.
CarlosYT: Isn't it weird that Saikana is still living till this day even though she was supposed to be dead after 100 years?
Rina: I see your point, but Saikana did something to make Iiko no press further into the hidden area she was about to discover.
CarlosYT: That's it! At night time, we all go there. Ved will be patrolling from inside the hidden area just in case some security or Saikana try to head there.
Ved: On it.
Alicia: All right, then everything is planned.
Some time later...
Location: Dreams from Afar Magic School - Library (Night)
CarlosYT: Alright, let's go.
Iiko takes the book and a hidden area is revealed
Iiko: Woah! New place!
Iiko enters the area, followed by the others.
CarlosYT: Alright, go in the front and try attack anyone who tries to enter, got it Ved?
Ved: Sure, whatever.
Iiko goes up and up.
Iiko: Guys!! I found a ladder!
Akaira: Oh? Let's go!
CarlosYT: Roger!
Ved: I'll stay here.
Everyone but Ved climb the ladder and see a book
Akaira: Huh? A book?
Alicia: Hey, what if this is the thing Saikana does not want to witness?
Rina: This could be what she's trying to hide.
CarlosYT: Let's give it a read, shall we?
Akaira opens the book.
Akaira: Here goes.
"17XX, Foundation of SAIKANA project"
"After the defeat of the Dark Lord, scientists have now given the opportunity to make a counter-dark lord that specializes in taking the lives of other people by freezing."
"18XX, SAIKANA's AI model"
"Releasing SAIKANA AI to a lot of people would be a huge mistake, so we only made one to serve as an extra boss to those who thought the Dark Lord was tough, SAIKANA AI is tougher."
"18XX, SAIKANA, Cute yet evil"
"Due to prior events of having to deal with SAIKANA, she has been disabled permanently to prevent further harm across areas. That is why you see a frozen castle that used to be a major part in Noske."
CarlosYT: Frozen castle? Noske? Nosquie?! So the castle in Fifestrier Alpha District WAS part of NOSQUIE?!
CarlosYT looks at the computer, finding out he's correct.
CarlosYT: Holy crap...
"18XX, Founding of Dreams from Afar Magic School via SAIKANA"
"Now that I, SAIKANA AI have taken a piece of Khur ma in, I have done the full decision to elect someone as the leader, starting with Sol."
CarlosYT: What...? AI...?
"20XX, New unaging leader, Luna"
"Since Sol died a year before it became 2000, I have elected Luna as the leader of the constellations and magic. She will serve as a great puppet for now."
"2023, Star Dreamers are a threat"
"I have become aware since the Star Dreamers have recruited two admins, it will show a challenge when they try and face me. Therefore, extra precautions will have to be taken to take these formiddable foes down."
Everyone: ...
Alicia: What did we just read?
Akaira: She... was an AI all along?
CarlosYT: She's even aware of my group's existence...
Iiko: Come on, we have to do something before they kill us.
Ved rushes into the place.
Ved: JUMP WHEN YOU SEE ICE START TO FORM!
CarlosYT: Why?
Ved looks from behind
Ved: THAT! [Jumps]
Everyone else jumps, with Rina transforming to another costume.
Rina: [Smiling] Now the game begins.
CarlosYT: Wow, costume change already, but understandable at this point because...
Alicia: We'll close a chapter to this story...
Akaira: To save Dreams from Afar! Magic School!
Ved: Let's go ahead and grab Luna, Violet, and Yuka.
Meanwhile
AprilYT: I don't even know where my brother even is.
AprilYT: I checked with Len, Renri, Kaito, and Heidi, they don't know where he is.
AprilYT: Wait. If I was my brother, where would I start?
During this point, you control as AprilYT and must find clues to find CarlosYT's whereabouts.
AprilYT heads to the now closed StarLucks
AprilYT: Wow, this place really closed off after the deaths of both Luka and Emma.
AprilYT heads to one of the areas.
AprilYT: This is where Nico Yazawa and my brother fought each other...
AprilYT: No... Not even here...
AprilYT heads to Yurigawa Academy and heads to the principal's office.
???: Ah, AprilYT. I was waiting for you.
AprilYT: How do you know my name?
???: Your brother CarlosYT has seen me at the gym alongside a yellow haired girl with red eyes.
AprilYT: You know about him?
Mephistopheles: Yes, and sorry for not introducing myself. I am Mephistopheles, only a shadow butler.
AprilYT: So, do you know where he is?
Mephistopheles checks for CarlosYT's location and finds his location in his phone.
Mephistopheles: Here.
AprilYT: Dreams from Afar Magic School?
Mephistopheles: Yes. Go search for him now.
AprilYT: Thank you.
AprilYT heads outside Yurigawa Academy.
AprilYT: [Voiced] Brother, I'll find you!
Meanwhile with the group.
Akaira: Let's go and tell Luna and the others!
