"There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, and the sea's asleep, and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace. We've got work to do!"

Dessier: Take a look around. Look at the person standing next to you. I see no one with a look of disappointment on their face. The faces I see are filled with smiles, with strong-willed eyes, with spirits overflowing with hope. Why? Because for the past five years, everyone has given everything in order to advance our kingdom. Because of your sacrifices, we - the people of Arls - can proudly become one with Arland. And today, I want to thank you all for recognizing, and reaching, your full potential. This does not mean the end of our storied history of Arls. No, today marks yet another chapter in that history. We dream of a better tomorrow, and in that dream's name we take our first step today. We hold our fate in our hands. I'm sure you all recognize - this is not the end, but the beginning!
Meruru: From today, I am no longer a princess. But that's okay. I and everyone else in the kingdom are headed toward a new future. No matter what problems arise, as long as everyone stands together, we will always overcome.
A happy ending is nothing more than a new beginning.
—Sensei, Power Rangers Ninja Storm

Iolaus: But seriously, Herc, let me ask you something. Do you think you'll ever give all this up? You know, settle down, hang up your gauntlets?
Hercules: You know, Iolaus, I've spent so much time walkin' down that road and wondering if eventually it would take me somewhere I'd wanna stop. But you know what? This is my life. It's what I do best.
Iolaus: Hmm.
Hercules: You know, maybe someday, I'll be ready to slow down, but you know, for now, I'd rather just keep on walking. Care to join me?
Iolaus: Frankly, Hercules, I wouldn't have it any other way.

"Somehow, Brainiac shanghaied me on a slow boat to this universe. Bastard had big dreams about me in his "Collection". Guess what I thought of that idea. Taking Brainiac out certainly got folks' attention. I got a lotta offers to stick around, but I got bored quick. Megalomaniac supervillains and tights-wearing heroes really aren't my thing. What's it they say? Home is where the heart is? But when I got back, things just weren't the same. The Bureau was too small. Was time for me to hit the road. Africa was totally the right call. The wide open spaces suit me. Clean air, starry skies, and, not surprisingly, more than a few monsters to hunt. All in all, makes for a pretty good life."
"Though I cannot predict the future, the consequences of this night will reverberate through the halls of both great covens for many years to come. Two vampire elders have been slain, one by my own hand. Soon, Marcus will take the throne, and a tide of anger and retribution will spill out into the night. Differences will be set aside. Allegiances will be made. And soon, I will become the hunted."
—Selene, Underworld (2003)
"And it looks like I'll have plenty of stories to tell. Because Master Eubulon told us that there are many more worlds behind the mirrors. And many more dangers that could threaten Ventara and Earth. And whatever those dangers are, the Kamen Riders will be ready."

Hannibal: Well I... I was thinking, what are we gonna do when this thing's over? I mean, what are we really qualified to do?
Face: Go after...thugs in the park?
Hannibal: And...outlaw motorcycle gangs, organized crime figures...why, there's a world of slimeballs out there!
Murdock: I knew it. I just knew you had a plan.
Hannibal: Comforting, isn't it?

"A hero's welcome greeted Spyro upon his return to Dragon Realms. Thanks to him, the world was safe again. And even Red, the prodigal son, returned to the fold. He made his peace with the other Elders...except Titan, of course, who is still angry. Red now spends his days at the Dojo, teaching young dragons the ways of magic. Meanwhile Tomas and the other Elders began to prepare for the Sorcerer's next attack. They knew he would return. But this time the dragons will be ready...and waiting."

A Justice League for All!

"Nancia was still thinking when they reached their first Singularity point on the run to Theta Szentmari. With Forister and Micaya strapped down in their cabins, she arced through the collapsing spaces in an effortless flashing dive. Space and time twisted and reformed about her as she chose their path through continually changing matrices of transformations. For the few seconds of perfect, gliding, dangerous transition she danced and swam in her own element, making her own decisions.
As she continued to do for the rest of her career."
