Half-Hill
(The eyes seen the fall of the Rat King, his spawn of pawns scattering away to the four winds as the earth continues to crumble. There was no more to fight here. It was time to leave.)
(The Queen stands, her stringy wings
◊ stretching out for a moment to get the kinks out. Part of her is...disappointed at how easy it was. No matter. The job here is done. This bastion...has held to its last, as it has done so many time before. If only the others could see it now...one last time...)
(From afar, the purplish light appears to move the edge of the Half-Hill, before jumping down and fading as it disappears behind the trees. Closer to the others, the Demon's Army breaks and pursues the remaining Rats to make sure they can't interfere with the last stragglers out.)
Clara Doll: Ratten sind Ratten! (throws a black pike into the eye of one)
Upstairs
Sayaka: Is that everyone?! (does her best to follow Pane)
The damned queen and the relentless knight.-Cats, between you scurrying over to Aria, she has transformed into a ten foot robot and opened a green portal-
Thirty seconds, anyone who needs to get through has to go—.
-He notices Cats-
... Now.
-Panos feels Gracia's hand brush against his, then clasp-
It's your choice...
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Upstairs->Main Room Past The Melodramatic Graves->Outside->Sagi's Ship
Leaving through a mirror is bottom of my priority! Finding his brother after we drop him off comes next!
-Sayaka- I don't know why but someone was just sitting and smoking in the living room!
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's mean-In a small patch of reality, not erased as the others, but quickly vanishing, a cave sits-
-A small fire burns in it, casting a Shadow, its long beak looming across the wall, eyes staring towards the absence of an entance-
-It has lost its words now, for it is penitent, but now its penance is impossible-
Well, I should most certainly hope otherwise.
-The shadow looks up-
-Ah, yes, an old friend, an old, old friend-
-A performer enters from the nothing, and sits down across the fire, its mask, though expressionless, seems to smile-
The times for us are closing, or closed, friend, as I am sure you have known.
-The shadow nods-
But we should fear not these things... even we are like the sparrow crossing the hall, returning to the unknown. We come and we go, but we always were and, thus, always will be.
-The shadow ponders-
I forgive you, friend. We shall dream together, soon, and it shall be marvellous. The stage is now open, and a new show can begin.
-The two of them sit in that cave amidst the nothing, and share the remainder of fire together-
-When it fades, the cave is empty, and soon it will be as if it never was-
Woods
(There's a source of magic moving quickly though the woods, weaving through the trees as they breathe their last to the crumbling dust of cessation. At first it was trivial, but then the terminator of that line between something and nothing began to accelerate. That...was that supposed to happen? Was the Half-Hill supposed to dissolve so quickly?)
Upstairs -> Main Room
Sayaka: You know where?! (continually taps whatever she can with a sword to keep updated on her surroundings)
(L) What?! How can- You know, whatever. Just get him outta here too!

The damned queen and the relentless knight.Outside
…
(the meek little lizard just... watches as Cats does some sickass motherfucking acrobatics and lands without a hitch...)
...g-god wow...
(she... has her mind taken off of the present predicament for a few merciful seconds... she blushes red beneath her scales... what sort of woman IS this...?)
......
(Bleary-eyed, Freeman musters... the smallest smile as he's swept forward, tottering in at last and making it over to Sagi.)
…
(He mouths... "thank you"... No voice, again... but his friends were there for him.)
(His eyes turn to the chaos outside the safety of the ship... Could Cloud be out there somewhere...? Last he saw, he was nowhere to be seen, but...)
(Fatigued, Gordon slumps against a wall, breathing heavily as the adrenaline finally wears off.)
Kitchen
…
(He squeezes her hand... then releases...)
...I... accept...
(Panos reaches out a shaking hand to the Presence, known as Ray, the dying star that coalesced in the shape of a megatherium ground sloth and, for a short time, enjoyed Being with the inhabitants of this doomed dimple in space and time...)
(And the great, ancient beast's paw takes the human's hand...)
(The light intensifies, almost blinding,
and at once, the Presence flows into this vessel, encasing it in light as well, rearranging it from within, in an imperfect, bizarre and short-lived sort of metamorphosis, the schizophrenic human and the elderly star both consumed...)
(...And formed anew... Something not quite hominid, not quite xenarthid
◊ stands before them, towering, glowing... warm.)
...I— understand now... Farewell, my friend...
(It raises a paw... and slashes, with its claws, into the fabric of reality.)
Come. Who among us remains? I will guide them here.
(Gunth turns his head to see...)
...Gracia...!
(THERE SHE IS KIRBY AND—... is that Ray?)

-bursts into big, full laughter, slapping a hand on his knee-
Main room
-puts out her cigarette-
Well? Are you leaving?
I should have left sooner.
-Monika is looking at you. It's clear what she is. Something lesser than real.-
Woods (what's left)
-The world is crumbling. Faster. Faster faster faster. An exponential decay rate. The pattern is all wrong. It's getting... closer. And in some places, it's overtaking her.-
UN JOUR JE SERAI DE RETOUR PRÈS DE TOI-Sayaka- On the couch for some reason??
Sfida
-Sagi- Sorry... I'm going to do one more check. Don't wait up on me, but... if you see someone that looks like this man... please let him on.
-Luminary- I'm heading back in. You can stay with this ship, or... come along if you want.
-Pane bolts for the Main Room-
-John, however, comes rushing in behind the last of the people shuffling in, floating high over Sagi-
Duuuuude it's nuts out there!
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's mean"Ha! At this point, we're just... hoping for the best. I can feel that... Mistress Yukari completely exerted herself, and it's a miracle she could escape. I know she has faith in me, but... I fear that faith may be displaced~"
"hold the mcfucking PHONE"
Savannah immediately crashes through a window into the kitchen, several sharp objects sticking out of her back
"Yippie ki yay, fuckers, I'm out!"
And she just swan dives thru the God Portal
Main Room
Sayaka: Hmmgh. I can help guide, but I need this to know where I'm going. (holds up her cutlass) Can you guys carry him?
Woods
(The purple double-times it. The steely eyes beginning to strain to hold back the panic wanting to break loose.)
(NO. NOT. NOW. Not after everything she'd gone through, everything that had been done to get her here. The wings spread and take flight, carrying the Queen up above the treetops as she reaches and grabs for every last bit of advantage she can get-)
(...what was that feeling? Why isn't she flying right? Why is she barrel-rolling to her right? What is that searing, mind-shattering PAIN in her very Soul? What are those thumps that sound like wood striking flesh and bone?)
Homura(?): (VERY LOUD SCREAM OF PAIN)
Main Room
Sayaka: (suddenly turns her head towards the woods) HOMURA!!
The damned queen and the relentless knight.Outside
(A warm paw rests on Venom's shoulder.)
Come. A way is opened, child.
(WHO THIS
◊, how'd he fuckin get here uh... oh man wow, he's slashed open a hole in reality... Cool?)
Sfida

(Gordon's eyes droop closed...)
Main Room
(The thing, whatever it is, smiles at Savannah as she leaps through the portal.)

-Pane dashes in, looking frantically at Graves and now Monika-
Please come with me if you want to survive this!
Kitchen
-Pane stops off here to see if there's anyone still—
-Their sight zeroes right in on Gunth, looking at the Luminary in relief-
-Then they double take at that... glowing... thing??-
...???
Sfida
Man... I think we did everything we could, honestly. If anyone's sticking behind I bet they have a gameplan!

mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's mean-suddenly, on one patch of land still standing-
-some kind of machine arrives, fading into the world as the world fades away-
-an old, weary man, with grey hairs on his head sits at the controls of the machine-
-slowly stepping out, adjusting his glasses as he looks at the disintegrating reality around him-
I found it... the end of this place's time.
And I suppose, really... the end of my story, too.
No space for my machine to go now. It'll be gone in a few moments.
I travelled across this place a few times... sometimes I talked, sometimes I merely watched, fascinated, by the events.
It's rather sad, really. For all my attempts, I never did leave this dimension.
My machine travels in time, not space.
I went back to a time before I first came.
I found people- a society... I helped them with my knowledge of the future. I guided them to make that mall in the woods... to make their own town, which sadly passed away...
But I never did know who built that strange little room in the middle of the forest.
-he sighs, as the machine falls away behind him-
And, one would guess, that I, nor anyone else here, ever will.
So ends my story. The story of-
-the time traveller fades out of existence-
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this post

...
(squeezes her eyes shut as she lets Ran carry her)
<...Moni, you there?>
(Necrozma doesn't roar in triumph... instead, he remains stock-still, as his golden armor begins to turn black)
(from beside him, Ake weakly murmurs, still visibly putting in effort to maintain Ultra Burst)
C'mon, Necrozma... we gotta... gotta make sure everybody can...
...
(an Ultra Wormhole opens by Akebono's side, sucking her in)
(as she disappears into the void, she doesn't protest... is she simply too drained of energy, or is she aware that Necrozma is right to send her away?)
.....
(Necrozma gives one last look at the sky - the remains of this universe's sky, at least...) Farewell.
(before disappearing into the Wormhole as well, which soon disappears into nothing.)
