Star: "Distrotion!"

A wave of time energy passed over the dark sphere, slowing it to a complete stop as it began to consume the black hole. Star knew black holes could effect time, if they went into it, but by keeping it away, he would be able to keep his attack working. Serra jumped up and dashed at Chaos again, trying to strike as many times as she could.


Fenrir: "If your a shadow... then you can't effect me."

Fenrir seemed to disappear all together, hiddin away in his fast speed. Maya and Luke finally started to do something again as another song began to play, one made of complete happy notes, lifting anyones spirit that is around.

Maya: "If you hated our last song, this shoudl destroy you!"

Luke: "Music is the perfect order to batlle your chaos."

As Serra struck Chaos, the Black Hole disappeared.

NeoBowser: "Hahaha!... err... huh?"

NeoBowser stared at himself. He noticed that his hands were covered with blood... his own blood. Chaos was taking damage and as he did, so was he!

NeoBowser: "GRR! This fight is not over yet!"

NeoBowser turned around, decided not to let Serra strike Chaos down. He dashed toward Serra and then tried to pull her head off!

...

During this time...

...

Chaos seemed to phase out for a while, as if something had struck him...

Chaos: "Huh? What was that? Must have been nothing..."

Chaos finally noticed the music.

Chaos: "Oh NO! You won't start doing that again!"

Chaos pointed at Luke and Maya and then, a HUGE beam of darkness fell from the sky, toward them!

Destin: "Why won't you die NeoBowser?!?!?"

Destin slammed into NeoBowser, trying to knock him off course as Serra went for Chaos again. She began to slash it as hard and as fast as she could.


Luke: "You can't hit us that easily!"

Maya improvised on a part of her dance, jumped away from the beam and Luke jumped backwards, but he stopped within the radius of the beam still playing. Maya stopped dancing as she turned to look at Luke, but he just smiled.

Luke: "I never wanted to have to do this..."

Luke started playing a very familier tune on his harp, a tune that almost everyone knew, but so much poewr came from it. A golden light shot upwards out of Luke, countering the beam.

All attempts at keeping NeoBowser from striking Serra were in vain... but since Serra jumped out of the way in order to attack Chaos, NeoBowser's attack missed.

As Serra struck Chaos again, NeoBowser became even more angered!

NeoBowser: "H... how dare you?!?"

NeoBowser charged and executed his Odio Breath again... but this time, Dark Weapon didn't protected them. The party will have to find a way to block/counter/survive this attack itself this time!

Chaos didn't just stood there. It glowed green... and suddenly, the 4 shield generators were back!

...

During this time...

...

Out of nowhere, the 4 shield generators reappeared!

Chaos floated there, wondering why the generators had reappeared...

Star took care of the breat, standing in front of NeoBowser and slashing upwards as hard as he could. With his slash a huge gust of wind taking the breath upwards, deflecting it easily. Serra turned back to the shield generator wondering what was going on.

Serra: "Everyone be on guard!"


Fenrir kept circling the area at his fast speed, knowing he was being overlooked. He stopped at each shield generator and put a bullet shell on top of it, one that was looking very wierd. Fenrir became visible again and shot at each of the shells, each one exploded, with a relatively big radius, and a lot of power.

Odin: "Fenrir???"

Suddenly, the shield generators disappeared.

NeoBowser: "How... annoying!"

Chaos glowed red and tons of beams of light began to fall from the sky!

...

During this time...

...

The orbs exploded.

Chaos: "What was that?... Probably nothing!"

Chaos turned to Fenrir.

Chaos: "That gun of yours is annoying... but let's see what happens if I lock your ability to use your gun!"

Chaos fired a green beam toward Fenrir! Should it hit, Fenrir will become unable to use his gun!

Stacice: "Don't worry about it."

Stacice shot energy into the air that casted a shield over everyone as Serra went for another attack at Chaos, this time putting more energy into it. Star stood in front of NeoBowser with Destin.

Star: "You won't get past us NeoBowser, as soon as Chaos goes down, we'll take you out in a few seconds."


Fenrir didn't even bother moving, he just quickly loaded a different type of ammo into his gun and shot seven quick shots before the laser hit him. The bullets flew through the air, right at the illusion, distorting everything around it, but the gun began to smoke. The laser hit and Fenrir just put the gun back.

"Those are energy bullets, I'd be careful."

Bel thought: "Now is the time to use my phasing ability with the help of that I can hide in one of the walls."

Suddenly everyone could see right through Bel. He flew backwards and disappeared in the wall.

Bel thought: "So this is how walls look from inside."

Serra started to attack Chaos at a faster pace, trying to destroy it quickly, she didn't even notice as the lasers passed through the barrier. Destin did notice however and jump in the way of the lasers that would have hit Serra, he landed on the ground, injured but all right. Everyone else managed to escape without taking much damage.

Off: Final Battle clear!

Now time for the Final Final Battle!... but don't worry, it's more of a story-driven battle than anything else. I really doubt that the party will fall to the very last enemy.

There's no more surprise bad guys after this one! This is the true, final battle. Once this enemy is defeated, the ending sequence will begin.

HINT: The final enemy is really lousy and can be killed in one hit. All you have to do is use the right attack... but you can easily win this battle without it. The final enemy is definitely weaker than the Chaos Essence was.

____________________________________________________________________

As Serra struck the Chaos Essence one last time, it began to pulsate red like crazy!... but then, the pace of the pulsations grew slower... and slower... and slower... until the Chaos Essence stopped pulsating.

Slowly, the light within it faded...

NeoBowser: "NOOOO! Just a few more minutes... and your world would have been completely replaced!"

BOOM!

The Chaos Essence exploded, sending pieces of shattered glass everywhere! As the Chaos Essence exploded, NeoBowser's voice echoed.

NeoBowser: "I have lost to you again Ex... but you struggle in vain. Each defeat only makes me stronger and serves to bring you closer to your ultimate doom for I, the true Absolute Evil, can never be truly destroyed. As long as Hatred will exist within the hearts of the inhabitants of the Universe... I will continue to exist in a form or another and as such, I will return again and again and again... Goodbye Ex Lightheart! We shall meet again in another Universe and this time, the outcome of the battle will be far different!"

Then... everything faded away.

The party was standing in the middle of the plains where the Portal had first appeared... and Siryx, the Essences, and Dark Weapon were gone.

Serra was back to her old form too. Looks like it had been only a dream... or was it?

In front of the party, the Fallen Angel himself was standing in front of them, grasping a piece of glass... the Chaos Essence!

Fallen Angel: "Pah! As if NeoBowser could compare to ME! Now we see who is the TRUE Absolute Evil, hahaha! Now using the Chaos Essence, I will finally have my revenge on the Creator! I will destroy everything, EVERYTHING! HAHAHA! Yes, everything! This planet... the stars... the space... time... EVERYTHING! HAHAHAHA!"

Fallen Angel was surrounded with a strange light and suddenly, he mutated into a horrific half-angel half-demon monstruosity that was several times the size of the tallest party member.

Fallen Angel: "Without Dark Weapon, the power of the Chaos Essence cannot be stopped! Now, suffer! SUFFER! HAHAHAHA!"

Fallen Angel pointed the Chaos Essence at Serra. A great dark power came out of the piece, threatening to consume everything!

However, suddenly, it seemed as if time had stopped to everyone but Serra... Ex's voice echoed...

Ex: "Serra... it looks like Fallen Angel, your Possibility's Absolute Evil, has somehow stolen a piece of the Chaos Essence before the Chaos Heaven faded. Your efforts will have been in vain if you save your world from my Possibility's Absolute Evil only to have your world fall into the hands of your own Possibility's Absolute Evil. Dark Weapon, Siryx, and the Essences exist in your world... but you do not have them right now. Altought you are back into your weak, useless human body... your soul remain intact. Use your powers and bring Dark Weapon, Siryx, and the Essences here! Hurry! Summon them and erase this last piece of the Chaos Essence before Fallen Angel can consume everything!... and Destin, Star, Bel, and the others! Do not stand there! Use your powers as well! Bring the power that can destroy the Chaos Essence here!"

Ex's voice echoed everywhere. She invited all the beings in the Universe to help Serra, to bring the Essences and Dark Weapon to her. She urged Siryx, whatever his form, whoever he may be in this Possibility, to come as well.

Odin: "Its gone!?!?"

Fenrir: "It seems its true form was destroyed, but it isn't over yet... I can still feel someone being resubmerged in everyones soul... He is much different than anyone I've ever heard of, the only way to kill him would be to purify everyone, and that wouldn't last for long..."

Luke: "We shouldn't worry about that now, I'm heading towards the vortex!"

Luke played a quick song and he and Maya changed into light and flew off towards the vortex. Fenrir stayed back as Odin jumped off the tower runing after the two.

Fenrir: "Hmmm... Good luck."

Fenrir turned away and disappeared.


Star: "We're back in the original world now. Other people are here that could help us if we need it. This feels better."

Destin: "Be quiet and help Serra."

Star looked over at Serra who was now concentrating with more than just her mind, her soul seemed to be glowing. Bright blue light engulfed her and she looked up. Destin started to do the same, hoping it would work. Stacice just sat on the ground stunned that she had been used and couldn't get revenge. Star was a little to amazed to help them, between them the glow of a human appeared. It looked like Hero was concentrating with them, but that would be impossible.

Fallen Angel: "It is useless! As long as my power is amplified by the Chaos Essence, there is nothing stronger than me!"

The darkness took the form of a giant hand and tried to squash Serra flat and keep her light from spreading. However, for some reason, the darkness couldn't touch Serra's aura...

Serra heard a voice in her head...

Dark Weapon: "I heard your call, being whom I never met and yet knows... I am coming..."

Suddenly, Dark Weapon was in Serra's hands.

Another voice echoed...

Siryx: "Serra, isn't it? Such a lovely name... I'm glad to meet you! You want me to help you defeat that darkness, isn't it? Sure! Why not?"

Siryx appeared next to Serra, in the form of a handsome man.

But then, a third voice echoed... it was strangely familiar... and yet so different from what they had heard before...

???: "Serra... Serra... this name is familiar... and yet, I never met you. Still, we must not let this Evil force destroy our world! Let us unite our powers and banish this Evil from our world!"

An extremely tall hidden figure appeared next to Serra... it seemed awfully similar to the form NeoBowser once had... but there was different to it.

A fourth voice echoed...

Ex: "Serra... your world is not my world and as such, the power of Evil is weaker than the power of Good in your world. Beings that were pure evil in my world are good in your world... use this at your advantage! Break the links that keep the Chaos Essence tied to your world! Go on!"

Dark Weapon: "Serra... I do not know why these words keeps echoing in my mind... "The true power of the Ex is not the power to destroy... it is the power to shatter the unity of Evil and free the people from their fears. Using the blade infused with the hopes and dreams of people, the Ex shall unleash her Wrath upon Evil and shatter the cursed orb of Chaos..." I do not know what these words means... but they keep echoing for some reason..."

Within Serra, a power awakened... a power greater than that of the Chaos Essence. Then, she saw it... within her, the spirit of Hero... he was wielding a large golden hammer. He turned around and smiled at Serra. Next to him, an entity of pure darkness was chained. Hero smiled one last time and broke the chains, unleashing the darkness. The darkness mixed with Serra's light and her blue aura turned to white.

Ex's voice echoed one last time...

Ex: "The time has finally came. Throw away any doubts you have... and become what you were meant to be or choose never to become it. In the Chaos Heaven, you saw and felt your true identity... but an illusion it only was. Now, the occasion has came for you to assume your true identity... but if you do so, you'll never be able to return to your former form. You will never get another chance at becoming what you were meant to be also, if you refuse it. It is your choice, really. Will you simply destroy Fallen Angel and allow the Chaos Essence and all of the Evils within it to be revived within another Possibility?... or will you put an end to the nightmare once and for all but at the cost of your human self?"

After everyone was gone from the tower a ray of light engulfed the somehow remaining Origin statue, its eyes glowed and soon it came back to life.

Origin: "... This universe is in danger, but the balance is complete, all relies on the choice of someone, that balance won't be controlled one way and a new, stronger evil will be released, the other way will keep the balance how it is, just for the evil to return later... What do you think of this?"

???: "Can you really put all your hopes into one person, no matter what they do, this planet is doomed by default."

Origin: "You'd be surprise what has happened since the begining, this planet is the only one like this, you know all other planets are doomed at some point, but this ones destiny keeps changing with each hero that raises."

???: "What do you plan to do if a stronger evil comes about?"

Origin: "A new hero will just have to take over, my job is only to insure a new one will come around."

???: "You yourself are an oddity in my design, a mistake, a fluke. Yet you believe you were meant to become and change who you were?"

Origin: "Everyone and everything will have or has had a choice where they choose between two ultimate destinies."

???: "Which choice will she make?"

Origin: "The one that is right to her..."

???: "If she makes the choice to sacrifice her human form, I bring everyone back."

Origin: "Heh..."


Thinking Serra: "I have a chioce between everyone and myself... I have to choose everyone, it is the only way. I have to destroy this thing before it can spread farther."

Star: "You know what is right Serra."

Destin: "Serra..."

Hero (in serra's mind only): "Serra, I have faith in you, I know what is going to happen, but don't expect to see me again, I've moved on Serra, happy about the choices I made... Always make the choice in your heart, not the one in your mind..."

Serra's mind didn't change, she still wanted to sacrifice herself over everyone, even if only a few people had remained alive after the ordeal.

Serra: "Ex... fuse me now!"

OFF: Final Final Battle clear!... what? Already? Yep!

Ending sequence starting!

Go on and post the ending for each of your character!

____________________________________________________________________

Serra began to glow... and she began to change.

Her ears growed to gigantic proportions, her eyes changed to blood-red, large claws came out of her fingers, and fur appeared on her. She was back to the form of a female humanoid mouse... exept that she was black and had claws this time. She also seemed to be MUCH stronger now than when she was in the Chaos Heaven.

She was now a true "Ex" being... she was Ex Lightheart, reborn... and as Serra assumed the true form of an "Ex" being, Dark Weapon's disguise faded out of existance.

In truth, Dark Weapon was not just made of random flesh... it was made of the flesh, bones, and eyes of human beings, all crushed and merged together, forming more or less a blade... and with large tentacles coming out of it and thousands of eyes covering the surface of the blade.

Serra's body was surrounded by dark flames but, strangely enough, the black flames that were emitted from Serra's body were not consuming anything... on the contrary, they were repelling Fallen Angel's power and cancelling it out.

The Chaos Essence glowed in defiance, as it's power was still greater... but not for long.

Fallen Angel: "So... this is your true form... the form of a demon of pure darkness shaped like a humanoid mouse... Quite impressive! As a demon, you are destined to serve me! Go on and help me destroy everything!"

Ex's voice boomed.

Ex: "What about... NO!!!"

Serra raised Dark Weapon over her head and suddenly, both Fallen Angel and Serra were on the moon of an unknow planet, in another world. Dark Weapon was charged with immense power and glowed yellow. Then, Serra thrown the power under the form of a big sphere of electricity. Upon impact, the ball exploded with so much force than the entire moon on which the two were standing exploded... then, Serra flied toward Fallen Angel and slashed him twice.

The strikes were so powerful that the very dimension collapsed on Fallen Angel, crushing him... and returning the two to the real world.

Fallen Angel: "W... w... what?!? My... my... my reign is over already? I... I lost so soon after becoming the ultimate life-form? W... w... why? Why was I destroyed by a... mortal? Why did the powers of Evil failed to destroy a mere planet? When I grasped the Chaos Essence... I learnt of the true power of Evil... of the true power of the Chaos Essence and the power it governs! I saw the billions of worlds that were destroyed in seconds... the cataclysms that destroyed entire civilizations... I saw pollution, corruption, wars, and diseases destroy all life on all planets... but this one. What makes this planet so different? Why can't the King among Kings, the Absolute Evil, destroy this tiny, puny planet? What makes this world so different? Why do this little planet always escape fate and carry on?"

Fallen Angel fell to his knees.

Fallen Angel: "While I hate to admit it... I am forced to. I admit defeat on behalf of the entire forces of Evil both from Ex's and your world, Serra. Neither NeoBowser, neither myself could bring back this world to innexistance. There is... something in this world that makes it different... something that allowed it to overcome it's fate. I would have hoped to know why Good always defeat Evil on this world..."

Fallen Angel stood up one last time.

Fallen Angel: "NeoBowser was right after all... I am not worthy of being the Absolute Evil. I will die and everyone will forget me... but NeoBowser, on another hand, is eternal. As his evil self died, his good-natured version awakened within this world. Already, I can see him, along with Serra and Siryx, liberating the planets of this world from the Forces of Evil... one by one. I can see it... the end of Evil, the beginning of the final age of the Universe... the eternal age of hapiness. I can't stand this! The true balance should have been an eternal struggle between Good and Evil, not a triumph of Good over Evil!... but I should have figured out this would have ended this way. After all, in this Universe, Chaos chose Good over Evil... and it is why he banished me from his realm. It is only now, when it is too late, that I realise the errors of my ways..."

Slowly, Fallen Angel began to turn into dust...

Fallen Angel: "Me who had dreamed of returning the world to the true balance... to innexistance... in the end, I only succeeded at bringing back a single being to innexistance... myself. While I may disappear, at least, I have the satisfaction of knowing that I won't live to see the definitive fall of Evil..."

When Fallen Angel finished his sentance, he finished turning into the dust. The wind scattered the dust and his soul returned to non-existance.

The final piece of the Chaos Essence fell to the ground and shattered, releasing the souls of all those who had been killed by the UEN. Everything went back to normal and everybody, including the deities that had assisted to this struggle, including Origin, forgot about everything that happened.

The good-natured NeoBowser of this Possibility looked around, wondering how he had got here.

NeoBowser turned to Star...

NeoBowser: "Huh? Who are you? Why am I here?"

The other party members were as confused as he was. None of them noticed that Serra and Siryx were gone... why should they have noticed? They had never met them...

During this time, in the eternal void... Serra and Siryx were floating, in their "Ex" being forms. They were the only beings along with the all-knowing and immortal Chaos, to remember what had happened.

Chaos himself was quite pleased, altought he was all-knowing and knew all along that it would end well, he was still worried. After all, what would have happened if this souless version of himself wouldn't have been destroyed?... or if the heroes had never met?... or if NeoBowser had terminated Serra while she was in her human form? Still, everything had went as planned and now, the future looked bright. Evil, the creation of his rebellious angel, would soon disappear now that NeoBowser and the angel have both disappeared.

Next to Chaos, a being identical to him...

Ex: "See? I told you! You ARE all-knowing after all! There was no reason to think that it was going to end up in a terrible way."

Chaos: "Still, I worry. Altought I'm supposed to know everything... my knowledge is limited to my own Universe. Since NeoBowser and the Chaos Essence came from another world, I didn't knew how powerful they were... and I think I got a lesson of humility from this. I always tought I was completely perfect... after all, I know everything about this Universe and contain no Evil... and yet, I was no match for the Chaos Essence. When I tried to banish it... I was overwhelmed by the sheer power of this new Evil... and then, a gang of mortals defeated them. I guess that I'm not worthy anymore to rule the Universe if I, the immortal master of the Universe, cannot destroy Evil while a gang of mortals can..."

Ex: "All wrong. You had no way of knowing how to defeat this Evil... and anyway, it was an Evil from another world, a power that you couldn't understand and thus, affect with your powers. Furthermore, perfection cannot be attained... as perfection is relative. As such... you will always grow better and better... just like your creations. As your creations will grow to be better and better, so will you. The closer to you they will be... the more worthy of your title you will become."

Chaos: "Maybe you are right... It is funny... even if you know everything about the future... the present seems so overwhelming... so shockingly impressive that you can't do anything but worry even if you know everything will be alright."

Ex: "Anyway... will you tell them?"

Chaos: "No. They are not ready yet. I will let Serra enjoy her romance with Siryx a little longer before forcing them into beginning their journey. It will be a long, hard journey... They will have to hunt down all the last surviving parts of Evil and destroy them so that the Chaos Essence may never return. It will take a long of time to defeat Evil on all of the planets of the Universe... even with the Chaos Essence and Fallen Angel long gone."

Ex: "I see... but just like me, you know that they will succeed, isn't it?"

Chaos: "I am all-knowing about the future of this world... so yes, I know that they will succeed. It will take centuries... maybe even millenias... but they will do it. This world will usher into a new age. NeoBowser was right... but what he didn't know was that he had caused the beginning of an eternal age of Good, not Evil. It is quite ironic... he came to spread destruction and despair... and in the end, it was hopes and dreams that would spread. Right now, only this small planet is shining with the power of Good... but it will spread and soon enough, the entire Universe will shine brightly with the power of Good. Pain and death will still exist... but never will wars and despair keep the people chained. They will rule their fates, free of the influence of Hatred and Greed."

Ex: "I guess that it means that my task is done in this world then..."

Chaos: "You are a strange entity Ex. You have the body and soul of a mortal... and yet, your power is greater than even mine. Just like NeoBowser, you exist beyond time and space, becoming an entity even greater than any god would ever dream of being... and as such, even to the supposed all-knowing master of this humble world, your future elude me."

Ex: "Well... I'm going to continue my journey. There are an infinity of Possibilities... and among these, many are still being corrupted by Evil. Cleaning them all is impossible since there is an infinite number of Possibilities... but I am immortal and I have nothing better to do so... why not?... and anyway, I want to see NeoBowser's definitive death someday."

Chaos: "NeoBowser wasn't destroyed? His body and soul are gone... his memory is gone and the Chaos Essence has been smashed into pieces. How could he still be alive?"

Ex: "You already said it earlier, Chaos. Just like me, he exist beyond time and space. He must still be somewhere, preparing for revival or being revived as we speak. My journey continues on... While the struggle between Good and Evil does have an end... it will continue on in other Possibilities nevertheless."

Chaos: "Farewell, Ex... hmm... I can sense you have one final thing to say, isn't it?"

Ex: "In truth... yes. If you can... and if it isn't already done... make sure that the heroes that fought NeoBowser will meet again. Altought they won't remember their adventure... they will rebecome friends and have many new adventures with Serra and Siryx and in the end, they will die, surrounded by their friends and their legacy shall be forever know. Let them not remain unknow heroes forever... may the glory of these heroes who braved the challenges of the Apocalypse shine trought this world!"

If Chaos had a set form, he would have smiled.

Chaos: "Don't worry. I had planned to do this before you even asked me. I already know what you're going to say. I won't stop you anymore. Go on! Resume your journey. I know the chances are slim... but I hope you'll come back."

Ex: "You already know if I'll come back..."

Chaos: "I cannot say for sure... as I already said... you are beyond time and space... beyond even my perceptions."

Ex: "Do not worry. Just like me, you will live forever and as such, it is likely that we shall meet again."

A vortex opened itself and Ex left the world...

During this time, in the void, Siryx stared at Serra...

Siryx: "Serra... it looks like it is finally over... and it looks like that even if the Chaos Heaven is gone... I still exist. You believed that I was real and so... I became real. Altought we should return to the others... I would like to enjoy this moment for now... just you and me, floating alone in an endless void... just the two of us."

Siryx turned around Serra a few times and stopped in front of her.

Siryx: "Serra..."

Siryx smiled.

Siryx: "I looked around using both my natural and secondary senses... and we're definitely alone."

Star could feel the absense of something in his mind and it drove him nuts. He had always been able to remember everything, he could feel a great amount of power gone and just the normal flow of time and electricty through him. He tried to reach deep in his mind, but the only thing there was emptyness, but something did surface, knowledge about himself, a power he had been able to use just never used it. He could feel the lack of the time elemental, but that would be because he had long since fused with it...

"But that wasn't the key... the key was to completely defuse with it, seperating myself from reality, not into normal time, but beyond it..."

Star walked off, only recognizing a confused Odin and Luke out of all the people there. He disappeared as soon as he was out of their sight. Only a few seconds later he was in an empty field, his armor changed back into a much different form, silver bands seemed to be the only thing connecting the main armor, he could feel new power flowing through him.

"Yes... not immune time, but out of time... my powers have been domant for so long... I feel like I could take down anyone with this power... One day... I'll fill this void in my knowledge, one day, I'll see what happened."

Star laughed silently to himself, his body coursing with new lightning energy, his mind becoming much more aware of everything.


"Hero? Where is Serra?"

Destin asked the nearby standing Hero, who looked kind of shocked. He had realized he was dead, but from what he wasn't sure... He had felt it before though, it must have just been a memory.

"She has moved on... We all must, somehow we have been seperated, everything is the way we wanted it, but I can't stay here... I must go Destin... My life has been over for a very long time. Good luck Destin, I know you'll be a great swordsmen."

Destin saw Hero walk off and slowly fade into the light. Destin turned and walked the other way, back towards his original home. When he got there, he was surprised. The demon his king had stale-mated and turned to stone was ruleing his home.

Demon: "Another slave I see?"

Destin: "What is going on?"

Demon: "Hahahah, you will become a new slave!"

Destin was surprised by the sudden attack from the demon as the hiddous, somewhat overwieght looking, warrior in armor swung a huge sword downward at him. Destin blocked the sword, but could feel the power behind it through his shield.

Destin: "Your that demon... I'll make sure you die this time!"

Destin's rage took over as he began to strike the demon with his sword, the demon laughed at Destin's attempt and knocked Destin down. The demon picked Destin up by the head and held him there, laughing. Destin grunted as he stabbed his sword into the heart of the demon, life force going with the strike. The demon dropped him and turned to dust right where it stood. Destin managed to stay awake...

Townsperson: "Who is that? What have you done? You've killed the demon! Thank you!"

The townsperson reached to help Destin up, but he never took the hand.

Destin: "Don't worry about it... to bad... I wasn't strong enough... Sorry everyone, my body just couldn't take on that type of power..."

Destin seemed to shine as his head fell back, he was dead, but many of the towns people recognized him and built a statue in his honor, bringing their kingdom happyness.


Stacice had no clue where she was, but she didn't feel anything wrong, so quietly took her leave, not sure what was going on. She continued traveling, inventing items and helping people that needed it.


"What is going on... Damnit I must have missed something."

Odin looked around, seeing nothing important. He took his leave to only later find a collosuem of some sort, asking for a challenge from someone named Elite Seph.

"Well... this should be fun..."


Maya: "Luke where are we?"

Luke: "I don't know, your the one that suggested we take this way..."

Maya: "Are you saying I got us lost?"

Luke: "No, just that you have no clue where you are going."

Maya: "... jerk."

Maya and Luke joked as they left, being careful to avoid everyone, they didn't really like suddenly being next to a bunch of people all of a sudden.

Luke: "So... on to the next town? I heard they haven't had a performer in a few years."

Maya: "Sounds fun, we better hurry up!"

Luke: "Wha, hey wait up!"

Maya took off at a run, Luke behind, running as fast as he could.


???: "..."

Origin: "Hey don't blame me for that, stuff happens you know, it was YOUR fault anyways."

Chaos: "What was?"

Origin: "This is why I hate being left out of stuff. It isn't normal..."

Origin kept in his tower, letting new people train and take refuge in his tower. He kept his normal schedule, barely noticing the huge gap in his memory, he would eventually learn about it.


In a darker place, a bar to be exact, Fenrir was sitting at a table quietly, watching everyone enter and go. He pointed out each bounty he would take, just had to wait till he got the chance. It wasn't a good place to be, must of the time, he had someone come after his own bounty, but he could take care of them easily...

Tough looking man: "Hey freak, get out of that cornor, aint nobody care if you sit in the dark, or are you afriad your to ugly!?"

The tough looking man's friends laughed at the joke, but all of them shut up as Fenrir walked into the light. Every person in the bar turned to look at Fenrir, every one turned back around and stayed quiet for a few minutes as Fenrir sat back down. Everyone knew his face, the infamous Bounty Wolf, the one with the highest bounty, and the one that had claimed the most. Someone to really look out for.

Fenrir: "..."


Serra blushed wildy at Siryx's comment, she really couldn't stay anything.

"I wouldn't mind staying here with you forever."



???: "So Hero, how have you been?"

Hero?: "Don't worry, the balance will be preserved, you know as well as I, that without balance all will fade."

???: "That planet of yours escaped again, I thought this time it was supposed to be destroyed."

Hero?: "No one told me if it had to be destroyed ever to preserve balance. You do know that a pure good thing on each scale balances out right?"

???: "Damn you Hero. You'll never cease to amaze me, even with following the rules you have never had to leave your planet doomed."

Hero?: "It never would have been doomed, remember, as long as I only train two possible heroes a generation, everything is within the rules. It just so happens, that there are more heroes than I need to train."

???: "You would question me regardless of what I do. As your father you'd think you'd obey better."

Hero?: "Your wrong, my father was human, that is why I am human. Don't worry though, I'm ready to die, so it doesn't matter what happens. You've never had the ability to judge and now you are going to die soon. Evil will eventually be purged from this universe and you'll go with it."

???: "You'll be gone long before me."

Hero: "Your right, I'm not even here."

The voices ceased and only darkness was left, soon to be over taken by the light.
