Spoilers for Kazumi Magica chapter 20, "Incubators".

Spoiler for Kazumi Magica 20:

•Kazumi's Soul Gem is cleaned, and the spiral patterns vanish from her. She jumps up and confronts Kanna, who is still yelling at her to join the Hyades. Kazumi yells back that she doesn't care about the Hyades or about humanity, and that she's just fighting to protect her friends.
•Kazumi transforms, charges up, and creates several copies of herself that leap forward and cut Kanna's witches in half. ◦And then Kanna yells AW, SHOOT! in English. I think her English phrases are really amusing.

•Kanna sics the Soujus' witch on Kazumi, who whips out a sword in each hand and attacks.
•Meanwhile, Umika begins talking to herself, and apologizes to Kazumi for the fact that her love of her friends isn't what they created her for. There's a flashback.
•When Kazumi was kidnapped, Umika and Kaoru deliberately kept the other Pleiades away and didn't tell Saki. When Saki got suspicious, they told her that they were making sure that Kazumi didn't have any serious problems this time. In doing so, they saw that (aside from her and Michiru's shared love of food) Kazumi's ideals were almost completely different from before. ◦I didn't think they'd give an explanation for why the other four Pleiades were completely missing during the first two chapters. What a pleasant surprise!

•She then flashes back to when they got the idea to revive Michiru. While fighting a witch (possibly Michiru's?), Umika stopped Saki from killing it and retrieved a ton of information from it with Ix File. She then compiled this information in an email to the others and came up with the plan mostly by herself. Saki and all the others agreed to the plan, calling it their fight against (and destruction of) "those guys". ◦I'm not sure how literal this part is, but Umika apparently got a hold of a chained-up, beating witch heart ("cor maleficus") that she shows to the Pleiades.

•Back in the present, Kazumi cuts the Soujus' witch in half and flings Kanna against the wall. Kaoru turns to Umika, and they both start to remember something else as well.
•Flashback to before the Pleiades made Kazumi. All of them are discussing her at the beach. Even though she'll have no memories or personality at first, Umika expects that she'll be a good person, like Michiru was. Mirai proclaims that she's gonna make Kazumi her disciple, and holds up a teddy bear that she made for her. Satomi holds up Toto, whose injuries she cured, and says that she'll give him back to Kazumi. (Toto scratches at Satomi's hand.) Umika will let Kazumi be the first to read her latest work, Kaoru brought soccer uniforms from all over Japan, and Nico has scheduled a trip to the Grand Canyon for everyone. Saki says that she's going to give her Michiru's earrings— not because she wants her to replace Michiru, but to keep Michiru's wish alive even though she herself is gone. ◦This is all in stark contrast to how they were acting throughout the story... particularily with Mirai and Saki. Nico also seems particularly open about where she used to live.

•Umika and Kaoru cry that they all wanted to be together with her, but now they're going to leave her alone again. Their gems are about to hatch, as is Saki's Grief Seed, which they have no idea how to dispose of...
•And then! Umika's giant magic circle floating over the town shatters, and they regain all their memories! Including how to dispose of Saki's Grief Seed: just have that guy eat it. They complain that they weren't able to escape from the "fairies" after all, then correct themselves. They're not fairies at all— they're the Incubators who want to eat the whole world.
•They scream at Kyuubey to come out and face them already, and he drops down as if on cue, saying "Long time no see, Pleiades."

Bring it on Kyubey!!!
