She looked up to him and there is a sudden sizzling sound coming from her back, the markings. She quickly turned away and remained silent.

He frowned and plopped on his butt, sitting.
Right...her markings.
"Don't you worry Vie, I'll get those off of you, I promise, I..." he stopped himself, knowing if he continued it could hurt her, but he still wore his grin, overjoyed just to see her once again.

She buried her emotions and stood up. "Good, because we cannot speak to each other until they are gone." she said in a cold tone. It hurt her to speak in this way to him, but it was the only way to prevent the pain.

He nodded, it hurt just a bit, but he understood. "Stay, if you want, I'll go. But I'll get them off, I swear on mine own blood." He jumps off, out of the woods, wooping to the world.
I'm alive.
I'm not a zombie.
She loves me.
Can life get any better?

Azazel frowns, watching the proceedings, but even his dark mind can't help but force a smile upon him.
"Even I'm happy for this...for them..." He flies off to the fires that are his home, blade in hand, and a good memory finally in place.

Giftzhan realizes he's back in the North and shrugs. "Back home, back to the old job. It was a good trip though." He looks up to the moon and howls, paying tribute to Tsukuyomi, the first to befriend him, ever.

Shen-Lung summons storms, not bad ones, and not intentionally, but he's as happy as he's ever been. "I'm...I'm actually alive!" He roars to the world, his home in the heavens untouchable, his life renewed.

[Luminesa]

"Inari...can you see them, too? Can you see the stars?" Lux called to her, not wanting to move from the peaceful, dreamlike moment.

She changed into a fox and curled up on his chest. There was no responce other than a soft purr. She had fallen asleep. He was back and she was as happy as she could be.

This pleased him enough. He curled up with her, and for the first time a long time, he went to sleep and dreamed peacefully. Tomorrow...tomorrow he would start again.

Happy.
Finally happy.
Never had he thought he'd be happy.
Loved.
Loving.

Everything was beautiful.

"Thankaron's soul... Where is it!!!" Flowey screamed to himself, "Ah, here it is..." Flowey says, seeing the dark heart that was twitching occasionally. Flowey absorbs the soul... "Ah... Now with six human souls, and a soul of a god to become my seventh... I will make gods bow!" Flowey announces to no one in particular while a seventh, small petal for storing Thankaron's soul appeared and started to grow... "Time, to become god, once more..." he says, before transforming into his god form and burrowing into the earth...

Jawzarr seems him when he lands and frowns, then shrugs and starts looking for God. "Gooood! Goooood!"

Lucas plucks Flowey from the ground and sets him down on the other side of the room. "Go do that somewhere else," he says while motioning in a shooing manner, "We just found that we didn't have to clean up the school, so I'd prefer to not have to clean up several holes in the ground too." He waves his hand over the large pit left in Flowey's wake, and you can see the tiles and dirt going backwards in time until they're smooth again.

Flowey turns back to his normal flower form, and goes into the ground. A small but noticeable tremor could be felt some seconds later.

[Luminesa]

Lux opened his eyes after a while, and he saw Raphael and Otohime nearby. He didn't know whether or not this was the right time, but nevertheless he wanted to speak. To end his lingering fears once and for all. He knew now that Raphael had indeed loved him, and was only playing. He had seen his love when he had tried to take his wounds from him, when he had held him and his broken body as he had been suffering, as Thanakron had tried to destroy his broken body. That was all the proof he needed that Raphael loved him.

Slowly standing, in order to not disturb the sleeping fox pup in his arms, he held her and walked over to Raphael and Otohime, smiling bashfully as he did so. "...Raphael?...Oto...hime? I...wanted to speak to you, again...Now that the war is over, once more," he spoke, softly.

Xavier walked over, slightly annoyed, and he put a hand in the ground. Pulling-up Flowey, he glared at him. "We had a deal, Flowey. You got Thanakron, and that's it. Now you have five seconds until I use my little weed-whacker right here," he said, poking Flowey's face with the wheel of the Staff, "unless...you wanna see my real form up-close this time..." He grinned, his irises crackling again, partially in playfulness and partially in seriousness.

"I know! Just burrowing to my little cubbyhole!" Flowey says, a grin on his face.

Xavier snickered. "And you better stay there," he warned, flicking a bit of fire off his Staff into Flowey's face.

Flowey dodges the flame, then goes to his cubbyhole... Another tremor...

Xavier watched him, coolly, his eyes still slightly crackling.

In ze cubbyhole...

Flowey was, using his roots, kidnapping children, then, absorbing their souls, then he puts them in a coffin then puts that coffin, along with a gravestone, in a cemetery. "Hahahahhaahahah!" Flowey laughed, his sanity starting to fade.

Suddenly, as Flowey worked, a huge fire raced down the hole, finding the corrupted flower-monster. Before he even had a chance to turn around and scream, he had been burned to ashes, releasing the souls of the children he had kidnapped.

Out of the ashes, Flowey popped up, taking the souls back and burrowing deeper, now he was covering his tracks.

Before he could take them back, a group of stars had descended to take the little souls away. Lux smiled at them. "Rest...rest, little ones...Now you may find peace...as we have..." they then disappeared with the light.

Xavier turned and grinned at him. "...Lux...you were amazing...H-How did you figure how to do what you did, even when you were dead?!"

He looked away, averting his eyes. "I suppose it is my memories...They had been suppressed, but then...I...suddenly remembered..." he whispered, timidly.

[Castle Crashers]

Nyx smiled, watching the others cheer and laugh and dance. She felt happy, relieved almost, that it was over.
And it was then that she spotted him.
He was just as she remembered him, before all of this death and destruction that seemed to last an eternity. Her smile faded. She didn't burst into tears, didn't run to his arms as she had in her dream. She couldn't feel like she'd wanted to only a couple days ago. She could only stare at him, too many emotions running through her mind to count. She didn't know if she could believe it, if she could even trust him if he was real. What if it was all an act? A fake? Would he try to kill her again? She wanted to believe it, wanted to believe everything that'd just happened was just a simple dream, a nightmare. But...she simply couldn't.
She'd been through too much to go off of a simple dream.

[Ranoria]

Ryujin roars their victory into the wind, calling to the world.
We won...
Otohime opens her eyes, and the first thing she sees is Raph. She doesn't think.
Ryujin sees her running and opens his arms to embrace his daughter, and she runs right past him.
There's no time to think.
She just runs, jumping into his arms, wrapping hers around him as they fall to the ground. She catches his lips, confirming that she isn't dreaming.
He's real. She breaks the kiss and rests her head on his.
"This time you better not die again." She kisses the tip of his nose, "I love you Raph, with all my heart."
___________________
Ryujin rests his head on Amaterasu's shoulder, his words muffled by her, but they were audible at least. "I hate kids, I don't want any more." He wraps her in his arms to let her know he's just playing though, swaying slowly. "We won, my queen."
Taiyou sits at their feet, and Bo shrugs, he hadn't been erased by the whole thing anyways.

Jawzarr blinks once, twice.
"I'm...alive?" He stands up, reaching for his sword until he sees the scene around him. "It's over..." And then only one thing goes through his head.
"Violet! Viioleeet!" He looks around for her frantically, searching every face he sees. He runs out to the woods, and as he skids to a halt, he smashes through multiple trees, and looks up at another.
"Hey!" He wore a wide, goofy grin that was out of character for him.

Raphael kisses her back, for a very, very long time. He enjoys it more than anything in his life.

"Otohime-san..." he whispers in Japanese, "I want to be with you forever..."

Genbu stands there, looking at the stars, and the ground, at himself. The world was right again.

He was free.

Truly free.

And he did not know what it meant, but he was going to enjoy every little bit of it.

Tsukuyomi sits down next to Giftzahn, silent.

The only one missing?

Otohime rolls off of Raph, snuggling up to him and replying in Japanese.
"I wouldn't have it any other way."

Lance slowly walked up beside her and looked between her and Hyperion. After a few seconds he gently placed a hand onto her shoulder. "Nyx..." he said quietly, almost like a whisper. "If you want to go back to him, I-I understand. The way you felt towards me may not have been real, but I just want you to know that the way I felt was real. I'm going to walk away now. I trust that you'll make the right decision." he said while fighting back tears.

He turned away from her and began to walk back into the woods. With every step he fought the urge to turn around. He knew that he could never be better than Hyperion. After all, who could ever love a demon as dark as him? Nyx had been the only person to ever understand him, and he knows that she will choose Hyperion. His arm was still damaged from his fight with Hyperion, but he refused to show it. As he walked, he repeatedly mumbled one sentence. "If you love something let it go." Then he would finish the rest in his thought. If it returns it is truly yours. She...she won't return. I'm nothing but a Demon. It's just like he said, I'm pathetic.

"About what, Lux?" Raphael says, tilting his head.

"...I-I...Otohime...especially...please forgive me, Dragon Princess, for being foolish..." he began, bowing to her deeply, and then standing again, "I-I...was under the impression that...because...he was happy with you...th-that...That he did not love me because he was in love with you...th-that...he only considered me a shadow...because...he loved you..." He was averting his eyes, blushing a bright pink and twiddling his index fingers, all the while still holding Inari in his arms, and feeling awful for having thought such things.
