And honestly, I think this would fit the AU REALLY well because you can keep:
BUT without turning it into āthe end of the world.ā
Like a crime series + neon + broken characters trying to survive.
āThe Divine Syndicateā
more emotional, less apocalyptic version
š THE SANCTUARY IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD
the only place where the rejected can exist.
And that makes EVERYTHING more human.
people who have nothing left outside
Soulvester created The Sanctuary because:
he was someone discarded too.
So his mafia works in a strange way:
yes, they do illegal thingsā¦
but among them thereās one rule:
āno one abandons their own.ā
Here, their powers do NOT destroy the world.
Theyāre just something:
Hikariās music influences emotions BUT:
it doesnāt control minds
it doesnāt open portals
it doesnāt cause an apocalypse
It simply makes people feel EVERYTHING more intensely.
Thatās why The Sanctuary is so addictive.
you dance until you forget who you are
And that makes Hikari famous in the underworld.
Sheās still violent and protective.
But now her conflict is more personal:
she doesnāt know how to live without fighting.
So in The Sanctuary she slowly learns:
how to EXIST without war.
And Hikari helps her so much š
š·ļø THE WAR WITH TEAGAN
Teagan doesnāt want to destroy the world.
They just want to destroy Soulvesterās power.
The Sanctuary has become too influential.
And other mafias start to feel threatened.
And thatās where the criminal DRAMA comes in.
š SOULVESTERāS CONFLICT
Here, Soulvester is NOT a crazy villain.
Heās someone who started with good intentionsā¦
but little by little, power is changing him.
He wants to protect everyone.
he makes horrible decisions
Connie starts noticing it.
Connie still believes in the old version of him.
They investigate The Sanctuary.
But the more they discoverā¦
the more they understand that:
the line between criminal and victim is broken.
Because many members of the mafia:
or simply found family there
So Dandy starts questioning:
āWould shutting this place down really help anyone?ā
Hikari loves playing music because:
for the first time since her deathā¦
she feels like someone is truly listening.
the lights reflect on her wings
the black smoke mixes with the neon
everyone raises their hands
š¶ļø THE REAL THEME OF THE AU
āthe apocalypse is comingā
ābroken people trying to build something of their own.ā
And that feels SO much more emotional.Because she wouldnāt be:
āthe violent killer who never changesā
But someone who slowly learns that living isnāt just about surviving.
And that connects PERFECTLY with Hikari.
Because Hikari represents:
While Skystar has always been:
So Hikari literally teaches her how to EXIST outside of war š
It would go something like this:
āØ SKYSTAR AND HIKARIāS ENDING
After the Sanctuary closesā¦
everyone goes their separate ways.
The music disappears for a while.
for the first time in a very long timeā¦
doesnāt know what to do.
Because her whole life she had:
something to fight against
But now thereās only silence.
And that terrifies her more than any fight.
One night, without telling anyone, she ends up at the beach.
Not because she had a goal.
Not because she was chasing someone.
The city lights barely reach the sand.
And the sound of the waves reminds her a little of the white noise Hikari used before performing.
So she walks into the water.
Like she expects something to attack her.
the water moving around her
the vastness of the world
And for the first timeā¦
Skystar understands something small but important:
Maybe not everything was made to be destroyed.
She doesnāt think about heaven.
She just looks at the reflection of the lights on the oceanā¦
Because after so many yearsā¦
she finally found something that doesnāt need to be saved or destroyed.
She doesnāt become āsoft.ā
She doesnāt stop being dangerous.
She doesnāt lose her personality.
But she no longer looks for fights.
protects without unnecessary brutality
and starts enjoying small things
listening to Hikari practice music
And Hikari notices the change before anyone else.
Because one day Skystar simply tells her:
āI think Iām starting to understand why you wanted to save things.ā
And Hikari almost cries š
Thereās a small hidden club in another city.
Itās not dangerous like The Sanctuary.
Hikari plays music there some nights.
And among the soft lights and the smokeā¦
Thereās always someone waiting near the stage.
