THE END

You've walked for what feels like ages down the highway as a group- all those who chose uncertain freedom over certain death. Within an hour, Mayfield became a distant speck on the horizon before ultimately fading into the hills and trees. The only sign of the place you've escaped is the sky, which remains an eerie brown even after night falls and you've put Mayfield hours behind you.

Try as you might, it's impossible not to imagine that you've been led into a trap. What if this is all part of some new sick game of Johnson's- or even Zemekis'? It certainly wouldn't be the first time. What if the events of the past few months- saving Annie, Gray's "ghost", Zemekis' apparent death -what if it's all been nothing but the latest in a long tradition of Mayfield's-

These thoughts fade when you see the first sunbeam.

This road isn't like the ones before: the roads that looped endlessly into themselves, inevitably leading back to where they began. This road has an end.

Keep walking forward and you'll find yourself in a new town, both similar to Mayfield and utterly unlike it. The buildings here are crude and unfinished- the streets little better than paved paths of dirt. There are no drones here, no hazmats, no one in sight other than you and your companions. But all of these things are nothing more than trivial details, when compared to what you feel the moment you enter its boundaries.

There's power here- you can feel it in your fingertips. Each and every one of you can, from the most godlike seraph to the most ordinary human: power, faint but unmistakable. The power to build a world, and to destroy it. The same power that's been lorded over you for four years... but now, it's yours to command.

You can create a new life here. It isn't the home you remember- the home you remember, after all, was never yours to begin with. For some of you, that's a blessing. For others, it's a hard truth you'll have to live with. But even though you can't go home, with the power you've been given, it might just be possible to bring home to you. Bits and pieces of it- locations you remember, small creatures from your world- no people, though. That's one power Annie decided not to give you.

The place you've found isn't perfect- there will be work, hard work, and pain. The place you've found is your own: there are no overseers here, no Zemekis, no Johnson. The place you've found may not be paradise- but it's the nearest thing you're going to get.

You've found, at last, a better place to live.

[So...that was it. Shoutaro will gently smile and put his hand on her shoulder.]

I'm sure she made it out ok. You have to be strong, and believe.

[Rin reached up and touched his hand, nodding.] Yeah. Yeah I know.

[Pulling out a mask, she looked at it.] You know, I don't know why I still have this. But...

[In a flurry of light, she became Cure Rouge before pitching it into the air and making a bang motion with her fingers. The mask shattered into a thousand pieces and reformed into a tact which landed in her hands.] This suits me better, than a reminder of worse days.

[Shou'll shield his eyes from the brightness a bit.]

I think so too.

How's Nozomi?
nozomisitter: (giggling)

She's fine. Better than fine actually. I think, we've finally found a place to call home. We've moved in with Sasami and Hayate, and Kyouko's there too.

I think they invited the Marvelous's to stay with them too. Big house and all. Heh.

Well...tell him 'thanks for the save' then, if Marvelous'll be there.

[He's pretty relieved to know both of them are ok.]

I should probably set up shop here someplace. There's always mysteries to solve.
nozomisitter: (here we go)

[personal profile] nozomisitter 2012-12-03 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I will. Don't worry about that.

You need help setting up later on?

[personal profile] sinistraljoker 2012-12-03 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't refuse the offer.
nozomisitter: (Happy)

[personal profile] nozomisitter 2012-12-03 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
All right, that'll help me settle things for now.
