"Well then, will you be taking me into the skies? Will you show me the world? I promise to behave, my hunk..."
Makoto glanced between the pair, looking seriously confused. "Um, are you sure you want to be with... her?"
@The Silver Paladin
"I call dibs on some of the bounty money from whoever the fuck. Honestly I guess it'd be fucking easier to say who didn't want this guy dead, am I right? Oh and uh...most of you are alright. Yeah, I don't like you, you don't like me and hey, that's fucking alright. It's like I said, y'know. You should never mix business with pleasure."

Kaku nodded. "Some passing acquaintances of ours, the Straw Hats, are known for throwing great parties after their successes. They've done so in many places, from what we've been told. I'm sure some people here are open to the idea. If of course someone can find the right place to hold a party. But I'm sure the Coalition can find a place that's not a battlefield.""Now before we all go separate ways and whatnot..." He grinned wider. "WE GOTTA HAVE A CELEBRATION! GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER IN A PLACE THAT'S NOT THE BATTLEFIELD!" Good times were on his mind.
"It's the only appropriate way to follow an epic fight, with an equally as epic celebration."
@Anyone really @awesome MG
His immediate reaction to being called crazy? Not the killer part, that he knew. It was a truth of a man of war, a soldier of fortune.
Ezio smiled as he caught sight of his old foe. Out of all of this, he had probably been the most fun to be with. The endless ways to torment and antagonize him were, wonderful. And now it was time to end this. To see which one of them was the bigger man. Even though he knew he was due to his gloriously bearded chin.
"Ciao il mio vecchio amico Duccio." He greeted the other man. His manner was surprisingly friendly, oddly so even, considering all that they'd been through with each other. Against each other.
He began to disarm himself, stripping the countless blades off his body. It was a long process to say the least. As he worked tirelessly at the gargantuan feat, he spoke to Felix, getting him good and mad for the coming fight. Get him good and sloppy.
"You are truly a sociopath, a killer of men, born and bred. It was a man like you that killed my family. My name is Ezio Auditore da Firenze, prepare to have the vita beat out of you."
Though the words were harsh, the tone was light and mostly friendly. A jab between rivals.
...
"Hold a moment for an old man." Ezio wasn't quite done. He still had a few throwing knives tucked into his belt. He pulled them out then got in a fighting stance. "Shall we?"
@ShadowPrime
Sakuya laughed. "Ah, there's plenty of...food for her. You need not worry, unless you get on her bad side. The only worry you should have is a certain room in the mansion..."
And yet another flirtatious comment directed at her. "Oh, you're getting pretty serious about this. Are you trying to find every way in which to compliment me? I can't say that I mind."
"Apparently Fate wants us to." Riley shrugged. "I'm returning to the Wasteland. I have a duty to protect the Wasteland, I have a duty to my father, and a duty to the Brotherhood. Feel free to visit, and use the Citadel as a base of Operations if you need. Junko, feel free to come with me, if that's what you truly want." Riley said
"Well then, will you be taking me into the skies? Will you show me the world? I promise to behave, my hunk..."
Makoto glanced between the pair, looking seriously confused. "Um, are you sure you want to be with... her?"
@The Silver Paladin
"I have to return to the Capital Wasteland for a while. I have work to finish up there. Clean up Enclave remnants, see Project Purity finish, stuff like that. I hope I can come see you and Cereza sometime." Riley smiled, and turned to the Brotherhood Paladins.Epilogue 1-2: The End
It was a decisive battle for all in it. The reign of Akibahara was over, as he lunched, yelled, fell, and simply frailed like a withered rose to death. And soon enough, others fell. One by one, by one, members of the Coalition fell, from attacks from the Crossed and the Zeds, but even then, the Coalition had there own sets of tech waiting for this decisive moment, the massive attacks from either side showing the true hideousness of war, yet also showing the quick decisiveness, as Joshua and Scudder watched the unfolding battle as they healed themselves up. Bloody, long, and victorious, the Coalition won the battle, and made little mistake over a celebration, per se. They would be making the same mistake Joshua made, of joyous victory at the end of battle, but being so decisive, there was no room for counter-attack, from anybody or anything. He extended his hand to help Scudder, pulling him up from the rubble as he looked t the magical yellow bus that seemed to come from a cartoon. Never seeing it before, they announced that getting on the bus would lead them to there homeworld, or wherever. And albeit his love for Cereza, the fighter with power of that of God, his place was with his tribe, at Dead Horse Point, where the Dead Horse's and Sorrows laid with Daniel to learn more of Mormnism. The Dead Horse's eagerly awaited there tribal leader, the one who would announce he would leave to fight the Arch Demon that they learned would come in latter days. Joshua walked, and kept Scudder along n his shoulder as he let him get on the bus. "I will follow. Simply wait." He then turned his head, noticing Cereza at rest as he trudge to her, battered, bloodied, weak yet full of pride and sense of victory as he simply stared at her with a deep pant eminating from him, as he extended his hand toward Cereza as to help her up. He still wouldn't say anything as he walked to Liberty Prme, a smile on his face. "I've heard of this machine only in holo-tapes and logs. You have performed well, Prime." He then turned to look at the battlefield, all the allies he knew little of, all the men and women who fought bravely, and those who died. He stood at the foot of the robot, and yelled to send a speech of victory "Victory is in our hands! We have unleashed ur might, our powers, our threshold against this Arch-Demon whom we so gallantly waited to defeat!.. And we have! We have saved the Multi-Verse, we have killed the Arch-Demon, and we have stopped total onslaught!.. True, we have endured many hardships along our path, but God, and our mission led us through victory countless times, stopping andd killing those who wished to stop us from saving humanity!.. And we as soldiers, men and women of God, have effectively reached and surpassed our point of no return!..." As he kept quiet for a few crucial moments to whoever listened, he yelled again, in a slower tone "You all deserve long and happy lives in peace... May God bless you in your victorious moments..." It was then where Joshua stepped down from pass, and walked towaard Riley. "My friend... Where wil you go now? To the Capital Wasteland? You can always come with me to the Mojave... There is a place withiin my tribe that would do well with you. And I hear a certain Courier needs help from tyrants trying to rule the Mojave." He smiled, patted his back and nodded at him. "Take my offer how you shall. We live in the same place afterall." After he walked away frm him, he alked then to many of his comrades and shook most of there hands, offering condolensces to those lost, prayers to the dead and alive, as he took Cereza's hand in his.
"Let's Go Home."

Joshua nodded at him, shook his hand and again patted his back. "Until our roads cross again, Riley. We shall see each other again." He took out a scrap of paper from His Scripture, then used a small amount of oil off a Paladins power armour as he used his finger as a makeshift pen, before giving it to Riley. "Dead Horse Point. Nevada. Meet the Courier. See me again, old friend." He patted Riley's back again once mre as he nodded. "Until time brings us into another fight, my dear friend. May God serve you well.""Apparently Fate wants us to." Riley shrugged. "I'm returning to the Wasteland. I have a duty to protect the Wasteland, I have a duty to my father, and a duty to the Brotherhood. Feel free to visit, and use the Citadel as a base of Operations if you need. Junko, feel free to come with me, if that's what you truly want." Riley said
Riley looked at the Paladin. "We have a job to do."
"I have to return to the Capital Wasteland for a while. I have work to finish up there. Clean up Enclave remnants, see Project Purity finish, stuff like that. I hope I can come see you and Cereza sometime." Riley smiled, and turned to the Brotherhood Paladins.
"She'll probably destroy, you by accident," Sakuya told him, though neglected to tell him which room it was and who was in it."Certain room huh? I'll be sure to keep an eye out for it." Erron commented being a bit vague about why. he then glanced at her when she said something about his remarks towards her. "Might as well cause in the end no matter how hard and far you run. Sooner or later God'll cut you down." Black spoke then paused for a moment.
"You can run on for a long time,
You can run on for a very long time,
You can run on for a long time,
But sooner or later God'll cut you down."
Did Erron really just sing a bit. With his deep and cold sounding voice with the lyrics it went well together surprisingly. "Don't expect me to do that often." Black told Sakuya looking around for a moment.
Epilogue
"New Dawn"
As all of the attacks overwhelmed the Arch Demon, he would let out a loud screech that would be heard throughout the entire battlefield, wailing in pain as the attacks beat and beat him, from gunshots to knives, to magical power to lasers, and much more, his entire body fell to the ground, lying on his stomach as he struggled to get up, his crimson blood getting all over the place.
"You... You're all trash! Death, death! I'll... kill you! I'll kill you! I'll... kill... !" He threatened in a choked voice, gasping his last breath, and gradually dying down with those last words. He gritted his teeth, his yellow eyes full of pure hatred, as he struggled desperately to move. And then...
Nothing.
He ceased to move.
He was dead.
The Arch Demon was gone.
Arch Demon Akibahara was dead for good.
"He's... He's dead. It's finally over," Chris breathed in relief, looking over at the sites where Albert Wesker and the evil Claire Redfield once were. What a mess it was. But at least it was all done now. The battle was over. And so was the war, as far as he was concerned. He dropped his empty grenade launcher, wiping sweat off his brow shortly afterwards.
Phew. What a journey.
Jill would nudge him on the chest, giving a smile. "You alright there? I know you're supposed to be older than the Chris I knew, but if you're gonna be like some old man who can't go with a good exercise..." She said somewhat playfully.
"Heh, same as always."
"Maybe. So... what'll happen to the Coalition now?"
"Who knows?" Chris shrugged, looking over at his fellow comrades, "They might disband... maybe stick around and be like the multiverse police. Who knows?"
"Heck yeah!"
"We totally did it! I feel so powerful!" Leia pumped her fists into the air as a victory dance. She had come out of the battle relatively unscathed and was feeling mighty proud of it. Ludger laughed, watching her, but he became solemn once he saw the look on his other friend's face.
"I guess Leia already told her," Alvin muttered, looking toward Claire. The woman seemed to be holding herself, laughing at the realization the battle had come to an end. Alvin looked back to Ludger, who nodded to confirm his suspicions. "Right... Despite how we went about it, I think it was for the best that we had her here." Sighing, the man rubbed at the back of his neck. "Hell, it worked out all right, didn't it? I can't wait to finally relax..."
Revan watched as the Demon and all of his servants fell, some by the assistance of himself and his associates. His sabers deactivated. The roll they had played was over. This war was over. The Revanchist almost felt relieved... but he knew everything was far from over.
Armor and cloak tattered, he waded through the sea of Crossed, zombie, and allied corpses. So many dead... but at a price he was more than willing to pay. His destination wasn't far.
Revan the Butcher was on the prowl, now, and he had his eyes set on his last aspiration for this battle... for Akibahara wasn't his only target, by any means.
Reaching out with his mind, he 'spoke' to Vlad and Anders as he neared his target. Be ready to go.
Rex had outlived both his usefulness and out stayed his welcome as Revan's associate.
It was time to be rid of the problem.
Without hesitating, he cleaved Rex's head from his shoulders in one, fluid motion. The area would have stunk of burnt flesh, if it wasn't already filled with the metallic scent of blood.
"... Rex."
Shocked gasps and murmurs replaced the excitement of their long fight finally being over. Makoto tried to speak, but his voice came out as a mere whimper. He moved slowly at first, shocked at the sight of his beheaded friend. Anders moved in to block Makoto from Revan, but that only prompted Makoto to try to rush at him anyway. The mage's eyes glowed blue as a blast of magic shoved the boy back.
"H-How could you?!" Makoto cried, stumbling back on to his feet. "What is the meaning of this?!" The boy's blind rage was keeping him from seeing what was likely happening here.
Nothing showed through his mask, but Revan's voice betrayed plenty. He felt distaste for Makoto. For all of them. "Because, boy... we are finished. G.O.R.E. is finished. Goodbye. Good riddance."
"You..." Makoto shook his head, daring to step forward.
"Makoto," Ludger said, stepping close. "We can't." He looked upon Revan, now backed up by all the members of what was formerly GORE. It was always known that they were the Coalition's real source of firepower-- attacking them would be a foolish action.
"He's right," said Kieran from Makoto's communicator. "Stand down, Makoto."
The boy shook with visible rage, but had the sense to back off. "You were the leak. All of you. You're despicable."
Revan chose not to respond. He pressed a button on a peculiar little device on his wrist, and he, Vlad, Anders, and the rest of the former GORE group vanished, leaving behind nothing but Rex's motionless corpse.
A portal would open up after this, a teenage girl stepping out of it. She looked around briefly, a frown on her face. As the portal closed, the girl would speak...
"Riley... Where is Riley?"
As the last of the enemies were disposed of, Kotomine attempted to clean his hands of the blood that he had spilled when fighting. Rin did the same, grumbling a bit, though seemingly in higher spirits than the priest.
"How disgusting."
"Well, not that I disagree, but you seem awfully down in the dumps for someone who just aided in defeating a supposedly massive multiversal threat."
"My coat is dirty."
Meanwhile, as Shiki would be caught by Izana and his group, before being handed over to Iris Heart, he would breathe a relieved sigh, presumably relaxed now that he was alive.
"Oh, jeez. I'm never doing anything like that ever again," he mumbled to himself, and perhaps to Iris Heart as well. Still, the strength in his legs would give away and he would fall on his back, and yet, he was smiling, as though content.
"Oh, jeez. We did it. We actually did it."
This had truly been a long time coming.
Now, those who had lost their lives to the Arch Demon could rest easy now. As cheesy as it sounded, his reign of terror had finally been brought to an end. It was all over. This world, Akibahara's dimension, began to dissipate forever. It was a slow process, and you all had more than enough time to relax.
The curtains had come for The Ultimate Murder Game.
For now... you should all just rest. Don't worry about anything else. You've all deserved it.

EPILOGUE - COALITION
"Regrouping"
Makoto took a place beside Kieran. The pair stared into the Coalition's infirmary, watching as doctors and nurses worked tirelessly to tend to the wounded of the fight. Their eyes were on one patient in particular-- Arya Stark, the young girl who had betrayed them. Or perhaps they had betrayed her, depending on one's perspective. It didn't really matter now. Despite her actions, Makoto had never wanted the girl to die, and had arranged for her to be transported before her demise. He hadn't been sure how his agents would have felt about showing the girl such mercy, and so he had kept the idea largely a secret. Perhaps if he hadn't, things would be different... As it stood now, Arya wasn't likely to awake from her coma for a very long time.
"Our losses were less than predicted," Makoto said, feeling a bit awkward standing here in silence. "The Ultimate Nullifier was a big help... Someone was looking down on us, I guess." The boy paused, seemingly lost in thought. Kieran looked down at him. He looked exhausted beyond belief. It seemed to Kieran he was so mature now, far beyond his age. "We've confiscated it and stored it away. We don't have the resources to see to fixing it any time soon, if it's even possible, so..."
"Right..." The captain crossed his arms, looking annoyed. "Our losses were largely due to our own people turning on us. The headquarters are in shambles, and just about everyone wishes to go home. I suppose I could, after all this time, but..."
"We're not doing so good, I know. Are you..." The boy rubbed at one of his arms, sounding nervous. "Are you suggesting we disband?"
Kieran didn't respond to this, simply choosing to stare back into the infirmary. He knew the boy was worried about what Desmond had said earlier. The Coalition had been reduced to a joke.
Makoto then gestured to get Kieran's attention. "Before we make that decisions, there's something you need to know. Someone you need to talk to..."
***
Makoto opened the door to his office, ushering Kieran inside. The captain paused in the doorway once he saw that Cosmo was already waiting for them. He exchanged a small glance with Makoto before heading inside. "It's nice to see you again," Kieran said, sitting in the chair next to the dog. "Makoto says you have important information for me, Cosmo."
After closing the door, Makoto sat across from the pair at his desk. He cleared his throat and frowned. "Feel free to tell him everything. I don't wish to keep secrets any longer."
Cosmo leered up at Kieran, a chew bone in front of the dog, freshly chewed.
"Very well. So a few months again, while Cosmo was sleepink, he had a vision. Now first thingk you should know about Cosmo? Cosmo is no future teller, so all of this his new. So vision was not clear at first. More feelings and voices, than images. Doom, sadness, hate, beink torn emotionally, all of this flooded the air like an over flowink river. Now-- images. Cosmo saw a battlefield, an army beink raised. Cosmo than saw himself fightink an unknown person at first. Ice hits Cosmo's face! The coldness shocks him... Cosmo sees enemy. It is Queen Elsa! Not only her, but with a little one hidink behind mother. Cosmo stares at little girl's eyes. Cosmo sees him. Sees the demon. Cosmo has no choice, takes control of Queen Elsa, has her embrace daughter, then... you get picture? Da."
Kieran stared at Cosmo for a long moment. His face paled at this revelation, and he he turned to Makoto. "Are you saying..." He paused, trying to come up with the right way to word himself. He wasn't sure he understood what Cosmo was getting at completely. "Akibahara's not dead?"
"He's dead," Makoto quickly answered with a small shake of his head. "Definitely dead. His influence is a disappearing from all recorded locations. Still, what Cosmo has seen..."
"... So, her child? Elsa's child? They're a demon, or something?"
"I don't think that is exactly the case..." Makoto looked to Cosmo. "What do you think it is, Cosmo?"
"Nyet. Little one isn't the demon, just a vessel for the evil one. Thingk of the little one as a "Plan B" for him.
Cosmo's head turns away slightly. He seemed like a wave of sadness crashed down on himm.
"Cosmo was in the demon's mind during final battle. Cosmo can pretty much say that's the plan."
At that, Makoto sighed. He looked down at his desk, running a hand through his spiky hair. "Likely, it has something to do with The Order," he muttered. "We know some sects are still at large, and info gained on them during the mission was troubling. We have to do something about this. It's our responsibility."
Kieran looked warily between the pair. "And what are you suggesting? Please don't tell me you... want to do something to this kid?"
"No!" Makoto said almost instinctively, look toward Kieran. He then relented, looking back down to his desk. "I mean, we don't know... we know it's a horrible suggestion, b-but..."
Cosmo turned towards Kirian, his eyes locked with the boy's eyes.
"Nyet, neither Cosmo nor Makato is suggesting that. Just because Cosmo saw vision, doesn't make vision fate. However, Cosmo would by lyink if he didn't say he was troubled by all of this. Cosmo suggest we try to figure this all out. Mum's the word 'till then."
Kieran adopted a sour look on his face at all of this. He stood up from his chair, leaning forward to rest his hands on the desk. "Then it's obvious the Coalition can't disband just yet. Maybe never. There will always be those who wish to cause suffering to others, and there needs to be people willing to stand up to it. Stand up to all of it. However..." Kieran lifted a hand, holding up a finger. "Things around here have to change. We've been crippled by our own hand, and our methods have been not as virtuous as we would have hoped. We will keep a watch on the kid, but no effort will be made to contact them. Not even Elsa. I refuse to inconvenience or panic people any longer in the name of what we call justice."
Makoto looked tired at this, but nodded. "I understand. You're right. There's not only this to worry about, but those Reapers we've been receiving reports on. We don't know how Elliot got involved with the mission, or where he disappeared to once the battle was over. Worst of all... Cole is still at large. There's too much yet to do."
"We don't need Revan," Kieran declared. "We don't need to play with sacrifices. It will take a long time, but we will become a true beacon of hope for all universes."
"We will be an organization worthy of their hope," Makoto added, smiling. He looked to Cosmo. "Will you join us?"
"Of course! It'd be Cosmo's honor! However, Cosmo think we need an elite unit. The team of the most powerful and most experienced. While Cosmo tries to figure out the weird dream he had, he will be working on this as well."
Cosmo eyes glowed blue. The strength of his words could be felt. This was important to the dog.
"When Elliot or Cole show up, they will not just be fighting the new coalition, they will be fighting Cosmo's Annihilators."
Makoto nodded happily. They would need allies to make up for the hole Revan and his men had left. Though they still had the Brotherhood's support, and support from the Assassins possibly in the future, their fate was ultimately left hanging delicately in the balance. He was about to say more when Jennifer suddenly entered the room. The girl looked timidly toward the floor for a moment before finding her voice.
"Makoto? It's about Arya... She's woken up."
"She'll probably destroy, you by accident," Sakuya told him, though neglected to tell him which room it was and who was in it.
Once he'd finished she chuckled a bit. "Ah, isn't that the way of normal beings...just waiting to be struck down." Though surrounded by various supernatural phenomena, she did not believe in god. Sakuya herself had practically no fear of death, her own aging process frozen in time. But perhaps even she would die, eventually, even if it took until the end of time.
"And why not, it wasn't too bad."
Soul smiles a little and walks over to her, ducking through the crowd "Sorry, had to get the old stitches replaced" he says with a small laugh "You know, the ones on my ch- you know the ones" he waves his hand, as if in dismissal "Anyway, how're those burns, Miss Rose?" he frowns slightly as he remembers how he'd let her get them, his face turning solemn for a moment, before he looked back to her, the mere sight of her making him smile a little "Hope they're not too bad..."Ruby Rose & Sophie
@Klutzy Ninja Kitty @DapperDogman
The pair seemed to relax a little, though, Ruby was busy getting tended to in the infirmary; it wasn't like her burns didn't hurt at all, in fact, without her aura to heal her, once her andrenaline rush wore off, the pain truly started to settle in. However, she seemed fine for the most part, looking around for Soul amidst the people running to and fro around the infirmary "Soul! Soooul! Where are you?" she called, despite the effort hurting her a little... Sophie in the meantime had been sitting next to Ruby the whole time, but, she abruptly stood up all of a sudden once she remembered Elsa... It would be for the best to speak with her at least one more time before they part ways... Plus; it would be good to plan for the future now that they had the time... Perhaps Ruby had an idea or two she'd like to share? First of all though, she had to find Elsa. "Elsa? Can you hear me?" She said, trying to raise her voice a little so she could be heard above all the chatter.
"You'll find plenty of despair in the Wasteland." Riley said offhandedly. He got into the Vertibird. "I don't know. If you want that, you'd have to go to the Brotherhood Outcasts. They worship Technology." Riley brushed off his shoulder pauldron once again. "If you're really looking for Despair, head to the Pitt, or Paradise falls. Full of slavers."
"Yes, yes, of course I'll come with you! I've been so bored lately, anyway... Perhaps I'll find all new kinds of despair by tagging along with you! I, Junko Enoshima, the Ultimate Despair, shall join Riley on his adventures as his mate!"
Junko crossed her arms and smiled.
"Say, would you ever consider making a robot bear...?"
Makoto felt like he was going to be sick. He wasn't sure how this version of Junko was alive, but he thought it was perhaps best to not think about it. He quickly shuffled away and on to the bus, awaiting transportation back to the headquarters...
@The Silver Paladin
Epilogue
"New Dawn"
As all of the attacks overwhelmed the Arch Demon, he would let out a loud screech that would be heard throughout the entire battlefield, wailing in pain as the attacks beat and beat him, from gunshots to knives, to magical power to lasers, and much more, his entire body fell to the ground, lying on his stomach as he struggled to get up, his crimson blood getting all over the place.
"You... You're all trash! Death, death! I'll... kill you! I'll kill you! I'll... kill... !" He threatened in a choked voice, gasping his last breath, and gradually dying down with those last words. He gritted his teeth, his yellow eyes full of pure hatred, as he struggled desperately to move. And then...
Nothing.
He ceased to move.
He was dead.
The Arch Demon was gone.
Arch Demon Akibahara was dead for good.
"He's... He's dead. It's finally over," Chris breathed in relief, looking over at the sites where Albert Wesker and the evil Claire Redfield once were. What a mess it was. But at least it was all done now. The battle was over. And so was the war, as far as he was concerned. He dropped his empty grenade launcher, wiping sweat off his brow shortly afterwards.
Phew. What a journey.
Jill would nudge him on the chest, giving a smile. "You alright there? I know you're supposed to be older than the Chris I knew, but if you're gonna be like some old man who can't go with a good exercise..." She said somewhat playfully.
"Heh, same as always."
"Maybe. So... what'll happen to the Coalition now?"
"Who knows?" Chris shrugged, looking over at his fellow comrades, "They might disband... maybe stick around and be like the multiverse police. Who knows?"
"Heck yeah!"
"We totally did it! I feel so powerful!" Leia pumped her fists into the air as a victory dance. She had come out of the battle relatively unscathed and was feeling mighty proud of it. Ludger laughed, watching her, but he became solemn once he saw the look on his other friend's face.
"I guess Leia already told her," Alvin muttered, looking toward Claire. The woman seemed to be holding herself, laughing at the realization the battle had come to an end. Alvin looked back to Ludger, who nodded to confirm his suspicions. "Right... Despite how we went about it, I think it was for the best that we had her here." Sighing, the man rubbed at the back of his neck. "Hell, it worked out all right, didn't it? I can't wait to finally relax..."
Revan watched as the Demon and all of his servants fell, some by the assistance of himself and his associates. His sabers deactivated. The roll they had played was over. This war was over. The Revanchist almost felt relieved... but he knew everything was far from over.
Armor and cloak tattered, he waded through the sea of Crossed, zombie, and allied corpses. So many dead... but at a price he was more than willing to pay. His destination wasn't far.
Revan the Butcher was on the prowl, now, and he had his eyes set on his last aspiration for this battle... for Akibahara wasn't his only target, by any means.
Reaching out with his mind, he 'spoke' to Vlad and Anders as he neared his target. Be ready to go.
Rex had outlived both his usefulness and out stayed his welcome as Revan's associate.
It was time to be rid of the problem.
Without hesitating, he cleaved Rex's head from his shoulders in one, fluid motion. The area would have stunk of burnt flesh, if it wasn't already filled with the metallic scent of blood.
"... Rex."
Shocked gasps and murmurs replaced the excitement of their long fight finally being over. Makoto tried to speak, but his voice came out as a mere whimper. He moved slowly at first, shocked at the sight of his beheaded friend. Anders moved in to block Makoto from Revan, but that only prompted Makoto to try to rush at him anyway. The mage's eyes glowed blue as a blast of magic shoved the boy back.
"H-How could you?!" Makoto cried, stumbling back on to his feet. "What is the meaning of this?!" The boy's blind rage was keeping him from seeing what was likely happening here.
Nothing showed through his mask, but Revan's voice betrayed plenty. He felt distaste for Makoto. For all of them. "Because, boy... we are finished. G.O.R.E. is finished. Goodbye. Good riddance."
"You..." Makoto shook his head, daring to step forward.
"Makoto," Ludger said, stepping close. "We can't." He looked upon Revan, now backed up by all the members of what was formerly GORE. It was always known that they were the Coalition's real source of firepower-- attacking them would be a foolish action.
"He's right," said Kieran from Makoto's communicator. "Stand down, Makoto."
The boy shook with visible rage, but had the sense to back off. "You were the leak. All of you. You're despicable."
Revan chose not to respond. He pressed a button on a peculiar little device on his wrist, and he, Vlad, Anders, and the rest of the former GORE group vanished, leaving behind nothing but Rex's motionless corpse.
A portal would open up after this, a teenage girl stepping out of it. She looked around briefly, a frown on her face. As the portal closed, the girl would speak...
"Riley... Where is Riley?"
As the last of the enemies were disposed of, Kotomine attempted to clean his hands of the blood that he had spilled when fighting. Rin did the same, grumbling a bit, though seemingly in higher spirits than the priest.
"How disgusting."
"Well, not that I disagree, but you seem awfully down in the dumps for someone who just aided in defeating a supposedly massive multiversal threat."
"My coat is dirty."
Meanwhile, as Shiki would be caught by Izana and his group, before being handed over to Iris Heart, he would breathe a relieved sigh, presumably relaxed now that he was alive.
"Oh, jeez. I'm never doing anything like that ever again," he mumbled to himself, and perhaps to Iris Heart as well. Still, the strength in his legs would give away and he would fall on his back, and yet, he was smiling, as though content.
"Oh, jeez. We did it. We actually did it."
This had truly been a long time coming.
Now, those who had lost their lives to the Arch Demon could rest easy now. As cheesy as it sounded, his reign of terror had finally been brought to an end. It was all over. This world, Akibahara's dimension, began to dissipate forever. It was a slow process, and you all had more than enough time to relax.
The curtains had come for The Ultimate Murder Game.
For now... you should all just rest. Don't worry about anything else. You've all deserved it.

Epilogue: The Legend Continues (Part 1/Part ?)
Fi, having left the Master Sword glanced to Link, who fell back onto his back on the ground with a heavy sigh. He was sore and tired, but relieved nonetheless. He glanced to The Magic School Bus, knowing that as soon as he returned to his world he would take a moment to actually rest before continuing his journey.
"We'll be heading home soon...then we'll wake Zelda up and tell her about what we did while she waited and slept." Fi said with a small smile, but knew that there was still so much to do before reaching Zelda. But hey, her and Link just helped defeat a multiversal threat; they could pretty much tackle about anything by now.
Fi then began to search for Legolas, eager to be in his presence yet again, even if it may be the last time the two will ever see each other.
"Y'know, you worried me for a second there, Stitch." Link said offhandedly to the little blue alien.
