ep 12

Ufffff since ep 7 I haven't written an opinion and it's not hard to explain why, there was just nothing worth talking about, until now, ep 12... ehhh I felt like the plot of the episode was like a truck driving over me, I mean was I the only one who felt they crammed the plot of 12 episodes into one? Can you believe we had to endure Koori's stupid dance in order to get this far?

There were too many emotions... starting with Erika's father, I have my daddy issues... to say that I start crying like a baby watching Taken (because I think my father would never rescue me) Idk where to start with Charles... everything that happened since from one second to another nobody remembers his daughter, until now that I get the impression that Charles doesn't care much about Erika anymore (even more after noticing how indoctrinated the eldaryans have her) is this woman still his little daughter? I feel he might doubt it

I feel Erika is in denial in many ways or straight up blind... they talk about "stopping a war" but the truth is the war started long ago, just like in TO, Erika just showed up in the middle of the conflict, that is humans dying in Eldarya and Faeries dying on earth, spies and soldiers being sent from one world to the other, at least for me that's a war. I think the time will come when Erika will have to assume that her father will probably die (maybe she will have to do something about it herself) because Charles knows too much and he’s also brilliant (which makes him very dangerous), I almost died when he makes her notice Nevra and Lance's attitudes, when he tells her that they are always between her and the others, I feel that is Charles saying that this girl is not his little girl anymore. The whole two world girl thing got way out of hand...I mean when it all blows up what is Erika's place? Will the faeries want her when they find out her own father is the big villain? Will the humans want her after she sided with their enemies? Things as always look very bad for Erika, I feel she’s going straight to the gallows, I also think Charles will have no scruples or limits regarding what he may be willing to do for Erika, I think he is capable of locking her up and telling her he will leave her there until everything passes.

But well... enough daddy issues... let's move on to the guys, for those who don't know I'm Leiftan's simp, I love him with all my heart and the scene where they take him away (I missed a bit in the writing.... but it was great) I loved the image and the effectiveness of the templar agents, the guys don't mess around, they know that the faeries can have powers and strength above anything known to humans, so boom no risk, at the first time they fill them with sedatives (I think this is absolutely brilliant) with that strategy it doesn't matter if you are a vampire, a dragon or an aengel.

And it is at the moment of the kidnapping when again I remember Charles' words regarding Nevra and Lance, they are there to get answers and it is too noticeable that Erika is their second mission, they could have protected Huang Chu, since she is the one who must make the portal, but no, the two stronger ones grab Erika to keep her safe (I can't help thinking of Boromir holding Frodo so he doesn't try to save Gandalf), at Erika's house again her father gets all the applause, with his DiCaprio-worthy acting skills he feigns surprise and offers them his "help", we get to my favorite scene, bedtime and Erika tells her father that the 3 of them will occupy her room, which seems right to me if they are on a dangerous mission in another world or in any kind of emergency, if there is a tornado, a hurricane, a zombie or alien invasion, STAY IN THE SAME ROOM AS YOUR FAMILY, it's basic survival in disaster and horror movies, whoever is left alone, dies. It is at this impromptu sleepover that my heart once again cringed. One of the things I enjoyed most in TO was that even though Leiftan is the love of my life, Nevra, Valky and Ez were my family... I was a poor little orphan in an unknown world and those 3 made a niche for me, Nevra took care of me like a sister, the same Valkyon and even Ezarel who I am not particularly fond of, became my friend, it hurt me deeply to lose them because they were my family.... in the Guard of Eel there was a companionship that made me want to be part of them, when I woke up years later in ANE it was obvious to me that the love and affection that all the members of the Guard had for each other had disappeared, I did not see the team as before, I did not see that concern and that harmony that in the first season made me fall in love, I mean, Nevra and Lance always seem to agree, but it is not Nevra and Ezarel or Nevra and Valkyon, they are just two work colleagues... It was only in my room on earth, alone and scared that I felt that companionship again, that genuine love/friendship, I love the option of being able to sleep between the two because not only is it a perfect strategy in case of unforeseen events, but I feel that kind of relationship is being forged again, during ANE I lost all group illus because I have no good Lov with Lance, I had no intention to talk to him and the forced interactions between the two don't help to surface friendship.... until now, because even if I don't like him I couldn't just stay with Nevra and send Lance to another room, because it's dangerous, even though I probably would have slept glued to Nevra and not to him.

Erika telling them that she is with Leiftan, at first it seemed weird to me, like out of place, but then I understood that what she really meant was, I care about Huang Chu and Mathieu, but I am dying inside thinking about Leiftan.... actually I would have had a panic attack because I've been through similar situations (of not knowing what's going on with someone you care about) and I collapse very quickly, that anguish for Leiftan was very palpable during the episode, I could feel it in my stomach (which I really liked), I just hope nobody did anything to my baby Lei because for him I burned the whole place down.

Regarding the ending, from the first moment it was evident that Charles will not allow us to leave, in fact when he talks to Erika I felt in Avatar when Jake Sully almost unintentionally gives the information to the general so they can exterminate the Na'vi, both Charles and Huang Hua are already fighting a war only that our favorite goofball has not realized it, everyone knows she knows nothing that's why they manipulate her, because she is goofy and why scare the goofball, better make her think she has everything under control. Erika has to open her eyes, it will be painful but she can't continue being the dumb girl of two worlds, it's not funny anymore, it's pathetic. I hope the torture basement was enough to make her react.

I don't want to speculate into the future.... but since everyone is throwing their theories about who is in the cage I don't want to stay behind, I rule out Miiko from the beginning because it would infuriate me to know that a princess disappeared and no one knew or did anything, I also don't think it's Ezarel because I have a feeling that this cage character won't have a happy ending (and I would hate it if it was Ezarel), so there's nothing left but Kero (even though there are a lot of TO characters that could be) I believe it because they named unicorns several times (along with vampires and brownies, but what other vampires and brownies do we know? ), the fact that Kero "never communicated with the Guard again" and that it was Kero who told us about the templars in TO, I feel like that's a lot of hints in that direction.

About the illustrations... I have nothing positive, the Leiftan one is dramatic but I can't stand to see their bodies and faces... in the others it's even worse ugh I really find them very ugly, episodes 10 and 11 had beautiful illustrations, even the Valentine's Day event (I skip Easter because I didn't like it) so... Were 10 and 11 the exception? Or will 13 confirm that they improved with the illustrations?

Oh one last detail, I like when the routes go different ways, that Leiftan and Mathieu have been kidnapped while Nevra and Lance have not, it gives for many different scenarios and I like that a lot, although I know very well that means more work when making the episode, what I try to say is that not everything is complaints, I appreciate a lot the development of this episode, we had a lot of plot, a lot of drama, new scenarios, moments attempts in many ways, for me at least is the best episode of ANE (that's why the *too much text intensified*).

Sometimes Tears Can Turn to Dreams (Chapter 1)

Chapter 1: An Adventurer, a Wizard, and a Strange Person Meet in a Forest

Two worlds find themselves colliding in ways that no one could have expected. Despite this, the heroes of both the worlds are more than prepared to fight the looming darkness that threatens both. The past will be dug up and new bonds will be forged. But one question continues to linger: Will the power of Oliver and his friends alongside the power of two Ultramen be enough to save both their worlds? Or will they fall to the darkness that looms?

Am I writing a Ni No Kuni and Ultraman Ginga/S crossover? Yes. Will this appeal to anyone other than myself and eventually my sister, probably? I doubt it. Do I care? No.

AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/26906968/chapters/65658937

The town of Motorville was nothing special, at least as far as towns with. It had itself a small store, a mechanical repair shop, a school a little ways out of town. In a way, it was similar to Furuhoshi, though many small towns were. There wasn’t much to be done in the town itself, but there were a few interesting things in a nearby forest, most notably a waterfall.

That waterfall was what brought Hikaru to the town, as he was now going to town to buy some supplies. It wasn’t too hard to find the store, you just had to follow the main street and you’d find it. Though when he tried the door, it was locked and he noticed that the sign was still flipped to close. He frowned, the sign with hours said it should be open right now...

“Oh, I haven’t seen you around here before,” Hikaru turns to look at the source of the voice, a boy, probably not even a teenager. He had reddish brown hair and dark blue eyes, a confused look on his face. “Are you trying to get into the store?”

“Yeah,” Hikaru responded, “It says it should be open...”

The boy tilted his head confused, trying the door himself. “Normally, Myrtle opens while Miss Lelia is out on her run...” He thought for a moment before adding, “Myrtle must have gotten distracted.”

With a sigh, Hikaru crossed his arms, “Well, I guess I’ll just have to wait...”

The boy’s face lit up, “Oh! I could probably find Myrtle, she needs to open the shop anyway.” He quickly ran off, down the street to the crosswalk, giving Hikaru little chance to say much else. He contemplated for a moment, before deciding he might as well follow the boy, at the very least because it’s something to do.

Catching up with the boy wasn’t hard, Hikaru’s legs were much longer, allowing him to cover more distance. The boy noticed him and stopped running, turning to look at him confused. Hikaru stopped, giving the boy a thumbs up.

“I figured I could come with you,” He explained, “I’m Hikaru.”

The boy smiled, apparently not minding that Hikaru was tagging along to look for Myrtle. “It’s nice to meet you, Hikaru,” The boy seemed pretty polite as he introduced himself, “I’m Oliver.”

With introductions out of the way, Oliver continued to walk down the street, Hikaru following suit. He led them into a residential street - though many streets in this town were - and stops, though not outside any one of the houses. Running down the sidewalk was a boy, with a dog alongside him. Up a few houses was a girl with blond hair, cheering for him.

Oliver tugged Hikaru out of the way of the boy and the dog, a smile on his face. “That’s Danny and Ghengis, they’re training for a track meet.” He explained, then pointed to the blond girl, “That’s Myrtle, she must have lost track of time trying to help Danny.”

Once Danny and Ghengis had passed, Oliver continued down to the girl, Myrtle. “Myrtle!” He called catching her attention. She looked up, smiling. Then a look of confusion flashes on her face, prompting Oliver to say, “You forgot to open the shop for Miss Lelia.”

Realization dawns on her face, making her start running past Oliver and Hikaru, “Thanks Oliver!” She called, “I completely forgot!”

After watching Myrtle run off, Oliver turns to HIkaru, looking up at him, “Well, the shop should be open now,” He said, “Sorry about that, Myrtle really wants to help Danny with his training and... Well sometimes she gets distracted.”

Hikaru laughs slightly, “It’s fine, I’m not in a hurry, anyway.” He turns to return to the shop, figuring that Myrtle would be done opening by the time he got there. “Beside, I get it. I used to live in a small town myself.”

The two of them are walking towards the shop now. Oliver hums, “What brings you here, then?”

“I’m an adventurer,” Hikaru explained, “So I came to see the waterfall in the forest outside of town.”

Oliver’s face lights up at that, “Oh yeah! I’ve been to the waterfall a few times! It’s really cool!” He pauses for a moment, seemingly hesitant, “What’s it like to be an adventurer?” There was something else there, at least Hikaru thought so, but he wasn’t really sure what.

Still, Hikaru figured it couldn’t hurt to answer, “It’s fun, I get to go around the world and see all sorts of cool stuff and meet all sorts of people.” He shoves his hands in his pocket, not missing how one bumps against the Ginga Spark. It always reminded him of his friends and the adventure he had when he was last in Furuhoshi. “I still go back and visit my friends, though.”

Oliver takes in his words, thoughtful and interested. “Gee, that does sound fun.” They were close to the shop now, “Where do you plan to go next?”

That was a good question, Hikaru didn’t always know his next destination, truthfully. Sometimes he knew, sometimes he didn’t. This was honestly one of the times he wasn’t entirely sure. “I don’t know,” He answered truthfully, “I guess I’ll just see where I’ll end up.”

They were in front of the shop now, Hikaru could see Myrtle inside, along with a woman behind the counter. Oliver looks up at him, “Well, the shop’s open,” He said, nodding, “I hope you can continue your adventure, Mr. Hikaru.”

---

The waterfall that was in the forest around Motorville was, just as Oliver had said, very cool. Or pretty might be the better word to describe it. Either way, Hikaru was certainly glad that he’d come to see it.

He sat and had himself lunch near there, the sound of rushing water the main noise in the background. There were a few other sounds, as one would hear in a forest. After he had eaten and packed up all his things, he began to make his way out of the forest. He was maybe a quarter of the way down the path back towards town when he heard an odd noise.

One might ignore it and continue on, but Hikaru wasn’t unfamiliar with these sorts of things and wanted to check it out. Some part of him was half expecting to see someone like Alien Valky or Alien Icarus there, about to start trouble. He knew it was extremely unlikely, especially now that Dark Lugiel was gone, but that feeling never really went away.

So Hikaru wanted to investigate, just in case. You could never be too careful and there weren’t supposed to be too many dangerous animals, at least not any that would make that sound. Following the noise, he found himself farther and farther from the path. He was close to the sounds now, still unable to identify what it was.

He ducks behind some bushes now, peering into a clearing. Standing there, surrounded by strange symbols glowing on the ground, was something - someone - decidedly not human. The person almost resembled a dragon, scaly body with sharp eyes. Peeking out from under a tattered cape looked to be even more tattered wings, partially folded. The dragon person seemed to be wearing armor over his scales, though the armor appeared to be made from the same indigo scales that adorned his body. In one hand was a staff, looking to be made out of some kind of dark metal, an ornate design all around it and two white gems adorning the top.

The other hand was empty, though it was gesturing, seemingly drawing the symbols from the papers that were hovering around the person. He was focused, but there was something odd about him, about everything he was doing. It wasn’t just the unfamiliar symbols, the powerful wind stirring up, and strange energy that was gathering, there was something else there too.

What should Hikaru do? It would make sense to try to stop the person, but he wasn’t even sure what the person was doing. The symbols began to glow even brighter, prompting Hikaru to decide that he couldn’t waste anymore time. He had to do something. So Hikaru swiftly stands and does the first thing that he can think to do. Tackle the person.

The person lets out a yelp and the papers fall, the glowing symbols disappearing and the wind stops entirely. Next thing Hikaru knows, something sends him flying back, the dragon person is clutching his staff, a scowl on his face as he begins to get back up.

Hikaru scrambles, trying to stand himself, though he’s stopped when the dragon person hits him with the staff. “How dare you interrupt me?” The dragon person growls, eyes narrowed. He seems contemplative before speaking again, his tone almost light, a crazy contrast to his anger before, “What should I do with you...?”

He closes his eyes, clearly in thought, though the staff remains held against Hikaru’s chest. After a few moments, moments Hikaru was using to try to come up with a plan, the dragon person finally opened his eyes. “I know,” He said, a devious smirk on his face, “How would you like to experience a broken heart?”

A broken heart...? What on Earth was this dragon person talking about? Hikaru wasn’t given much time to think, as the person began to make a symbol in the air with his staff, speaking words that Hikaru couldn’t understand. A dark energy gathered around Hikaru and the staff, a feeling of heaviness coming over him.

The feeling didn’t go away, even after the person was done. HIkaru couldn’t explain it, but it made him feel... It made him feel like he didn’t want to move. The dragon person took a step back, a self satisfied smile on his face. He shook his head, “I suppose that will do,” He wondered aloud, “But I don’t have time to waste... I have work to do.” With a wave of his staff, he gathers his papers and disappears in a flash.

Hikaru was left alone now, managing to bring himself to a stand, though he still felt... Not exactly numb but... No, maybe that was right. He was in a bit of pain, thanks to his scuffle with the dragon person. He wished he could bring himself to wonder more about it, but he couldn’t. Something in him just seemed to have... Disappeared.

He glances at the ground beside him, seeing the Ginga Spark there, lying on the ground. It must have fallen out of his pocket. He doesn’t bother to pick it up, some part of him doesn’t see the point.

Maybe he should just go back to Furuhoshi, see if he could see his friends... What was the point of traveling? It wasn’t going to show him much more new, nothing he couldn’t learn at home. If he was back in Furuhoshi, he could see his friends more, probably. It would be so much better than traveling around...

“Mr. Hikaru!”

---

Oliver had been in the forest, practicing his magic. There wasn’t much he could do in this world, obviously, but he still wanted to practice. Not to mention he was trying to see if he could use other spells. So far, he’d managed to use Form Familiar and Fireball, though neither of those were very powerful or complicated spells.

After a while, though, he noticed something strange. There was a strange energy, he could just feel it from deeper in the forest and the wind was oddly strong. So Oliver decided he was going to investigate. If something happened, he had Astra handy, so he was as prepared as he could be. He made his way deeper into the forest, unsure of what he’d find.

What Oliver found, though, was a person, awkwardly standing, leaning against the tree. The wind and that odd energy had disappeared, leaving only the vague feeling that it was there. As he got closer, he realized who the man was, though something seemed off.

“Mr. Hikaru!” He caught Mr. Hikaru’s attention, resulting in him looking up at him. He held a frown on his face, something in his eyes was empty. Though Oliver had run up closer to Mr. Hikaru, he stopped. Something about Mr. Hikaru was truly off. “...Mr. Hikaru...?”

Mr. Hikaru looked at him for a moment before saying, “Oh, hello.”

Oliver was unsure if what had happened or if Mr. Hikaru was somehow involved in what brought him here, but that didn’t stop him from being worried. “Mr. HIkaru, are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” Was Mr. Hikaru’s dull response, “I just...”

Hadn’t Oliver seen behavior like this before? Yes, he had. It was just like someone who was brokenhearted. But how? There shouldn’t be anyone who knows how to do that... Still, the symptoms couldn’t be ignored, if Mr. Hikaru really was brokenhearted, then it was up to Oliver to help him. The only question was... If Mr. Hikaru was brokenhearted, then what piece of heart was he missing?

As if he knew what Oliver was wondering, Mr. Hikaru shook his head and said, perhaps more to himself than anyone else, “I don’t see the point anymore. In being an adventurer. It’s just... It’s a stupid idea, a stupid dream.”

Maybe he was lacking belief? Or maybe ambition? Despite Oliver’s best attempts at studying his words, he couldn’t figure out for sure what Mr. Hikaru needed. He wished Mr. Drippy was here, he always seemed to know what people needed when they were brokenhearted.

While he was pondering what he might need to search for, his locket began to glow. Oliver thought that was strange, it only did that when someone had an abundance of something in their heart. There were only him and Mr. Hikaru here, though. And Mr. Hikaru was brokenhearted. So did Oliver have what he needed.

With a frown, Oliver tried to use Take Heart on himself, to no avail. Besides, he didn’t think the locket was glowing bright enough to be him. But he was too far away from anyone else that he could see. Then he notices something on the ground, beside where Hikaru was standing. It was hard to describe, but it was small enough to be held, silver and yellow.

He picks it up and his locket glows even brighter. That was odd. Did this strange item hold a piece of heart? But how could that be? It was inanimate... In a flash of light, a strange figure or doll appears. It’s red and silver, with blue crystals on it. It fell to the ground and the glowing of his locket died down.

Did the doll have a piece of heart, then? Oliver sighed, figuring it was worth a shot. So he crouched down and cast Take Heart once again. This time, it worked and from the doll came what must have been a piece of heart, even if Oliver didn’t recognize it. Still, his locket took it, and Oliver thought he knew what it was, now. Dream.

Now that he had the piece of heart, regardless of how odd the place it came from was, he could cure Mr. Hikaru’s broken heart. He cast Give Heart and let the new piece of heart, the piece of dream, go to Mr. Hikaru.

The improvement is immediately obvious. Mr. Hikaru looked up, his eyes wide and on Oliver in amazement. “Oliver...” He began, “Did you... Did you fix what that person did to me?”

Oliver mulled over his words, for a moment. Mr. Hikaru had seen the person who made him brokenhearted. But who was that person? And why? Not to mention he was still amazed by how he got a piece of heart from a doll.

“Who broke your heart?” Oliver asked, trying to hide the concern in his voice. If there was someone who could break hearts, that was one thing, but if they were in this world... That was a whole slew of other problems. Oliver would have a lot harder time stopping that person in this world. “What happened?”

For some reason or another, Mr. Hikaru explained his encounter with the strange person. After, Oliver returned the strange item to him and he’d have picked up and given the doll, but it was gone. Mr. Hikaru took the item back with a small smile.

It was clear that the person was trying to cast some sort of spell, but what Mr. Hikaru described didn’t sound like anything Oliver had seen in the Wizard’s Companion. So what was he trying to do? Still, Mr. Hikaru seemed to have a question of his own.

“Hey, so Oliver,” He began, “What exactly did you do? To fix me? It was like magic.”

Oliver had learned that adults didn’t take him seriously when he said that he used magic, and no matter how nice Mr. Hikaru was, he was still an adult. So he didn’t really want to tell him how he did. But that left the question of how to answer it. Oliver decided to be vague, “Something like that,” He said.

The two of them began to walk back to Motorville, Mr. Hikaru oddly not bringing up the wand in Oliver’s hand or the thick book under his other arm. Though their walk back wasn’t as uneventful as either would have liked. The wind grew strong, like before, and Oliver could feel energy gathering. Someone was trying to cast a powerful spell, like before he found Mr. Hikaru.

Mr. Hikaru must have noticed too, as he looked off in a direction. “There it is again,” He said, “It must be that person!” He gave little other warning before running off. Startled, Oliver soon dashed behind him, trying desperately to keep up. Mr. Hikaru could run quicker, though, so despite Oliver’s best efforts, Mr. Hikaru was going to arrive first.

“You again!” Oliver heard a voice yell, sounding thoroughly annoyed. That must be the person who Mr. Hikaru had encountered earlier. “And how are you cured of your broken heart!?”

“Whatever you’re doing,” Mr. HIkaru yelled, “Stop it!”

“You can’t stop me.” The person growled. Oliver caught up with the other two just in time to see Mr. HIkaru tackle the person. Then there was a flash and they were both gone. Oliver could easily figure out what spell had been cast. Gateway. The person and Mr. Hikaru were both, most likely, in the other world.
