Epilogue: Good Things For Those That Wait
"Th-this isn't enough! You dumb kids and co can't beat me!" the man insisted, doing his best to counter the attacks coming his way with that of his own, shooting off beams at his attackers and any projectiles that were fired his way. Youhei was flung back by one of these beams, and Stiles had a few thrown his way as he tried to get close enough to beat the man. Unfortunately, due to a mix of the unbearable pain of his bones trying to pry themselves from his body, the shock-wave from Ike, and a slash from Fandral? Well, there was only so much he could do. Stiles managed to wail one him with the bat and dagger quite a bit, and Fandral's slashes continued to land in rapid succession, blood and feathers flung about from the man's form, but more than the latter? An eerie light.
"This isn't how it was supposed to go! Why don't I have more power?! He promised it'd be enough to be rid of a few measly pests like you!" he coughed, body seeming to shimmer as he quaked, his form oddly not falling limp... But rather, seeming as though it were beginning to vanish. How peculiar. Still, even with the obviously unbearable pain he was in- judging by the cries and shouts of agony he continued to let out, anyways -, he found the strength to utter a few final words as the light turned to something more transparent, overtaking his whole body and causing his blood to seem to dissipate with it. "This isn't the last you'll hear of me, kids! I swear, I-..."
Before he could finish the words, the light had overtaken the last of his face, leading his sentence to fade into silence. A silence that remained for a long few minutes, filled primarily with slightly tolled breathing from the fight that had just taken place in the mansion. Eventually, the silence was broken by a resounding, slow clap. Followed by another, and another, and so on. The applause was less than enthusiastic, holding a rather mocking air about it, the familiar voice of the seemingly young vampire queen again chiming in. "What a thrilling fight... If you could call it that."
"Urghh, what...?" replied the disoriented voice of Mabel, who was finally seeming to come to. A confused look was on her face as she blinked slowly, glancing around with clear disorientation. "What happened...? I feel worse than when I ate all that Smile Dip," she groaned quietly, attempting to get to her feet only to prove to be unsteady and fall back down.
"...Don't worry about it," Teresa muttered in response, sighing heavily and running a hand through her hair. "Whoever the hell that guy was, whatever he was here for? He's gone. Good riddance, too." There was a pause from the ravenette, who looked ready to let out an exasperated groan upon hearing a loud creaking coming from another room. "Damn it. What is it, now--" she began, only to find herself cut off by a large amount of hurried, pounding footsteps from the same room, a group of people dashing in shortly after. A couple of them were familiar- a pair of males that had seemingly been left behind in their last transport. Others, not so much. Still, one in particular piped up.
"My lady, are you alright? ...How could you defy me like that? I've told you this was a horrible idea!" the man exclaimed, rushing to Kofuku in particular, who just seemed to brush the complaints off. Though, she did seem slightly confused by the appearance of her Regalia. Had she left him behind after that last transport without realizing? Regardless of how it happened, he was there, and in all truth? She was grateful for that fact. But his concerns were met with a hand being placed on his shoulder by another familiar face- none other than the man who had been running the matchmaker's booth much earlier.
"Looks alright to me," he mused with a firm, curt nod as he smacked the Regalia on the back in a friendly manner. His head then turned to a group of men at his back, a faint smirk on his face. "Am I right, boys?" There was a chorus of 'arr's in response before the captain again turned forwards to address the group, looking much more serious than he had in their earlier encounter. "Now, then. We got some... Intel, that you lot may be in trouble." His discreet way of keeping it secret he had been present when shit had hit the fan earlier from his crew. He didn't need them knowing he'd been at some sissy romance party. "And seeing as we had little else to do, well, here we are. But it looks like we missed out on the fun!"
There was a pause, filled again with the cheering of the crew at his back before the man rose a hand to silence them. "Regardless of the circumstances, it would seem you're free now. I'm sure your wench hosts over there can provide you some way home, lest my crew and I have to deal with taking on you bunch of lowlifes." And wouldn't that be horrible. Still, the male idly paced. "But I suppose what you do now is up to you, hm?" And with that, he seemed to resume ignoring the group, turning to address his crew, instead. "Well, then? What are we waiting for? Let's tear this place apart and make sure anything of use is made ours!"
"...man, this blew," Mabel sighed from her place on the floor, a pout on her lips. "All of these horrible things; and we didn't even get to carry through on the matchmaking, or any other parts of the party. This was a disaster," she muttered, scrubbing at her face with the back of her hand. To her surprise, she found a paper then shoved into her face, a light laugh coming from the one responsible. "Don't worry! We've still got the matches right here, if people want them! Haha~"
"You're thinking about that at a time like this?!"
Well, so much for learning a lesson from this. In any case, there seemed to be a few options. Those who wished to could linger, and perhaps even get their dances(if they were crazy enough to still want to), they could leave, or they could join up with Captain Shakespeare and his crew. In any case, it seemed it was finally over.

"That's it?! Oh, you've gotta be kidding me!! This stupid party was a waste of my-"@Mason Moretti
Oh? Charlotte glanced at the young man she was partnered with.
"Hi, handsome~"
What? He was cute!
Dammit... they hadn't been paired together. The fight, if you could call it anything of the sort, was over, and now they were stuck with other people. Worst, it looked like Charlotte was going for the kill. After everything they had been through during the war, during the events of this insanity... No, she wasn't going to let her chance get away from her! She was a member of the Flame Tribe, and her people didn't let these sorts of things go unsaid!
That's what she had told Charlotte when they had become each other's most trusted friends... and now, she was going to live by those words to ensure they became more than that!
"Charlotte, wait!"
Mason and Stiles's feelings could be damned, she wasn't letting her get away!
