At the side, Lucidia quietly broke off from the group and observed the battle from a distance, trying to catch her breath.

{Lucidia} Darn… I’m literally doing no damage…

{Lucidia} ''This isn't going as well as I thought it would. Ugh…''

{Lucidia} I feel pretty much useless right now… no one’s even noticed that I’m gone.

''She reached for the necklace in her pocket out of habit, but stopped herself, gritting her teeth. Negative words from a disembodied voice wasn’t going to help her right now.''

{Lucidia} What am I doing wrong?

{Lucidia} Is it because I rejected her?

{Lucidia} I don’t want to go back…

{?} No.

She started, whirling around midair, even though she knew there was no one there.

{Lucidia} ''Who? How?''

{?} Sometimes… in order to face the present, you have to accept the past.

Lucidia went silent.

{?} And sometimes, in order to truly understand yourself… in order to free the pain… in order to unlock the potential…

{?} Sometimes, you have to tame the demons inside.

''It was so clear. And yet, she was scared out of her wits.''

''Slowly, she reached for the star charm, bringing it out of her pocket. The battle still raged on, but Lycia was completely silent. Did she know? Does she realise what she was about to do?''

Would she even survive?

''She never thought it would come down to this. The fine line. The only divide between her and her murderous mirror.''

''Lucidia. Light. Lycia. Darkness.''

''Good and evil. Right and wrong.''

Life or death.

''The possibility Lycia would overtake her was very real. She would go back down the dark path. She would probably even kill her friends the second she was back.''

But if she was her only chance…

' So be it. '

At the side, Carmen turned around midfight, suddenly aware of someone missing.

[Carmen] *...*

[Carmen] *Where’s -*

Then she saw her freefalling, and screamed, causing a few heroes to turn around in split second distraction.

[Carmen] *THUNDER!*

''The robot jumped forwards, quickly catching her in a forcefield. Lucidia was unconscious. The star necklace slipped to the side, still on her neck. She looked pained by something.''

No one else knew, but the former Sergeant of the Rebels was commencing the biggest fight of her life.
