Epilogue: 誤嚥への道! The Road to Aspiration!
~Planet Earth
Beneath the waves, the bright light finally exploded to the surface, reshaping and remapping the perimeter that was once the land of Lynwin. Massive waves tossed and turned as the ground once more shook and twisted with massive chunks of Earth resurfaced once more, locking into place. Trees grew, flowers flourished and the buildings that were once destroyed stood as if nothing ever happened.
In the skies, the people on the airships saw the massive white bird of Anastasia, flapping her wings as everyone was shocked to see their home once more finally back to the way it was.
The bird dissolved back into Anastasia herself as she grew a pair of wings on her back now that she was already beyond a human being.
"I-is that?!" gasped Momotarou.
"Anastasia…" sighed Aki with some relief.
"So that's the princess?!" asked Atari.
"Have no fear…people of Lynwin," said the ex-princess, "Your home has been purified by my final act. However, I couldn't do it alone…thanks to someone who wished the same as I have."
She turned to see Dimitri floating beside her as he too bore angelic wings.
"I paid half of the price, wishing for this land to be back in its normal state...and she took the other half, making sure that the Magic Six would survive this mess," he said.
"That mean's they're still alive!" gasped Gou, hugging to Sei with tears of joy.
"But who is that man?" asked Xing, a bit confused.
Before anyone could answer, the deceased Romanovs joined up with Anastasia and Dimitri as Alexei floated up to her for a hug while the family smiled happily as they looked at the people around them.
"The Romanovs!" shouted Sousuke as Gou and a few others gasped.
"Romanovs?" asked Atari.
"The Romanov Legend back when Russia was under the empire of the Romanova. This is Anastasia's true family," explained Sergi.
Anastasia turned to them and continued, "I was able to reach out to Nagisa long ago...back when this land was still a paradise... I was trapped in another world...and thanks to the Magic Six, I proved that anything can be achieved...no matter how bad or disastrous things are."
She turned to see Beatrice and Andreas drenched in tears along with Aki feeling sad (for their times as the Rover Family back on Duniya).
"Don't cry…" said Anastasia as she floated up to Beatrice and Andreas, "I thank you for allowing the family to continue."
"I only wished we would've spent more time together," replied Beatrice while Andreas nodded in agreement.
"The Magic Six are still alive…but they are not in this world," she answered before turning to everyone, "Wait on this land...keep their legend safe. They will return soon in order to begin their final destiny."
"It's time now…Anya," said Grandma Maria.
"Right," she nodded as she turned to wave a goodbye as she, Dimitri, and the Royal family shimmered away to the after life, finally freed from all the years of waiting for a reunion. When the light shrank down, another figure floated in the skies before them.
Johann opened her eyes and saw that she was carrying a pair of wings on her back as everyone gasped in shock by the sight before her.
Now it was her turn…to carry on the wings…
"J-Johann!" gasped Claudia.
The other girls stood in shock with tears as their beloved friend floated down before them on the airship, hugging together happily.
"Anastasia saved me…" said Johann, "She gave them to me after fulfilling her destiny."
"I'm so sorry!" cried Claudia as she hugged her with tears.
Sei turned to Gou as they both shared a small smile to see them all happily reunited. However, Sergi was still worried for his brother and the others.
"He'll be fine," said Sousuke, "They are a team…they'll get back here soon."
"Honestly I never realized it would hurt so much to lose someone like this," sighed Aki while Nitori hugged her from behind.
"We're definitely one big family," nodded Gou.
The other people shared a small smile of happiness and Beatrice added, "Now then, let us return to Lynwin-Mu and begin…"
She turned to see Nao, Shiina and Ikuya as the former said, "We wait on your orders."
"Take the ships down," she replied, "We're going to rebuild and continue to keep our prayers for the Magic Six."
The trio nodded and returned to the control room to send out the signals to the other ships as they all began to descend back down to the continent as the skies continued to brighten the day with a new era before them.
~Planet Duniya
The pirates, Deana, Gleana, Masaru and Akane arrived at the graves where Takeshi and Matsuura along with other lost combatants were buried at. Awlida placed some roses at Matsuura's tomb and whispered, "I wish you could see our children...they are acting so much like you."
"I miss you dad," muttered Anne as she spilled a fear tears while putting a bouquet of flowers. Shira hugged her as she continued to feel saddened for the last few years.
Deana held hands with Glena with a bit of saddened expression as well.
Akane and Masaru stood to the side while the former opened her eyes narrowed her expression, "Looks like…they're disconnected."
"W-what?!" asked Deana, "You lost them?!"
"What do you mean by that?" asked Glena.
The trio turned to hear the commotion as Akane said, "The Tree talks…"
Before anyone could reply, a breeze of wind scattered a bunch of Sakura petals. Akane grabbed one to look at the shape and saw the same scars, saying, "We must head to the temple…"
"The temple?" asked Awlida.
"Are you guys okay with that?" asked Deana.
"Well of course, we fought for that sacred place," nodded Anne, "But what's going on there?"
"Let's go!" said Masaru, "We got little time to begin!"
The group climbed up the stairs as they saw the Suiei Temple before them with Akane and Masaru walking inside first where they saw the Sakura tree shedding a lot more petals than usual. The bark of the tree was also glowing pink.
"Why is it acting so strange?" asked Masaru.
"I didn't realize trees could act like that," muttered Deana, "Not to mention how Rei was obsessed with this..."Tree-san?""
"But why is it glowing though?" asked Awlida.
Masaru walked up to the altar to remove the cloth to see a series of symbols while Akane tried to read them out despite the complex of the language.
"Alpha…Beta…Suiei…Camelot…two worlds…" muttered Akane.
The others joined up to see the symbols and the strange looking details of what looked like a complex pattern.
"A symbol?" asked Deana.
"It's a map," said Akane, "The place of where our enemy lies in the heart of that map."
"That bitch," growled Awdlia, "She really destroyed a ton of people's hearts!"
"Awlida," said Shirahama, holding her hand to calm down.
"Alpha and Beta though," muttered Glena, "This isn't the Math that we learned…"
The symbol of Alpha and Beta had connecting lines to the word Suiei in a pattern like this:
O
O Alpha – Suiei – Beta O
O
"What does this all mean though?" asked Shirahama, "Two worlds? Alpha and Beta?"
"A mystery that we still have yet to solve," sighed Akane.
"Well now what?" asked Anne.
"We must begin," she replied, "We'll set up an army for the Magic Six in order to make our attack at Chirottori, the place where it all began."
"Sounds like we'll gather our clans then," smirked Shirahama.
"Shouldn't we use the tools from The Watcher's though?" asked Awlida.
"Alas, our enemy has taken Jadwiga and the twins away…" muttered Akane, "That's what I realized they were disconnected."
"WHAT?!" gasped the pirates and the other girls.
"But how are we going to make forces?" asked Shirahama, "We probably don't have enough manpower!"
"We'll have to make our own for now," replied Masaru, "If we don't act soon…there may not be a safe place left for anyone."
"It's time…" said Akane, "Let us begin…"
The group left the temple and made their one final stop at the bar to tell Georgia about the news and the discovery that they learned. Knowing that there wasn't much going to happen, Georgia went downstairs to get the hover bikes out.
"Please be careful," said Georgia, "These bikes are all what I got from Jadwiga. I'll try to get in contact with other members so they can at least begin and meet up with you down south."
The others nodded and turned on their bikes (with Akane and Deana on one, Masaru and Glena on another and the pirates on their own vehicles after being trained enough to use them) and began their long journey to the south, knowing that it was all going to begin again very soon…
Rin opened his eyes and found himself on a grassy field with orange-evening skies. The others were barely waking up as well as neither of them could understand where they ended up. A warm breeze kicked in the area.
"D-did we die!?" asked Makoto, worried.
"No," said a voice, "You're all very much alive…"
The team got up on their feet but couldn't find the source of the voice.
"What was that voice?" asked Nagisa.
"W-what is this place?" asked Rei, fixing his glasses.
"It's not Duniya…" said Alex, "Nor Earth…"
Rei sniffed out a familiar scent as he realized what he was told by "someone" long ago. He quickly dashed down while the others tried to follow him.
"Oi! Slow down sexy butterfly!" shouted Rin.
"Rei, what's the matter!?" shouted Alex.
"We have to find him…" answered the megane, holding hands with Alex, "He's here!"
"Who?" asked Alex.
"Rei, is everything alright?" asked Haruka.
"Yes! But this is important!" replied the megane, "We have to…"
"W-what is that?!" asked Rin, seeing a person ahead of them.
The figure before them had light brown hair with heterochromatic eyes of pink and green. The length of this person's hair was long that it almost touched the ground but its face was masculine (or at least it appeared to be). Rei gasped as the scent was coming from this person…or…
"So you finally made it," spoke the Mahotsukai.
"T-TREE-SAN!?" gasped Rei.
"Welcome to my world…Magic Six," said Camelot.
