Emerald Twilight
Epilogue and Aftermath
The snow fell hard on the land as Alex, Jerry, Teddy, Theresa, Raymond, and Carly carried Justin's coffin. Viciously nipping at the soldiers' faces was the freezing winds that howled throught the area. Alex kept her head down, trying to hold back tears. Above the group, the sky was painted dark blue with streaks of darkness, appropriate for the occasion.
"Justin never wanted to be this," Jerry said, his heart burning with sorrow. "Every thing he did, he did to better himself and his friends' lives...Please remember who he was...before the love of his life died...and who died control the powers he had."
Theresa stroked her hand over the black box that contained her beloved son. "I've lost both of them," she whispered, her eyes welling up with tears. Alex put her arm around her mother, and cried into her shoulder.
"These are Teleportation Crystals," explained Alex, handing her allies multi-colored crystals. "Thank you for what you did for me and for the world...Can I contact you if I need you again?"
Every soldier remaining shared the same answer: "Yes." Raymond Barone, Robert Barone, Marie Barone, Michael Barone, Miley Stewart, Robbie Ray Stewart, Lilly Truscott, Carly Shay, Spencer Shay, Freddie Benson, Teddy Duncan, Jerry Russo, and Theresa Russo stood together, standing strong forever more.
"I'm a full wizard now..." Alex realized, forming a purple orb of transparent energy above her hands. "...Thanks to you, Justin...Thanks to what you, Mom, Dad, and Max taught me..."
The Russo parents hugged their daughter, closing their eyes, and sharing their love and strength. The snow continued to fall.
Raymond sat by Michael and Marie, watching his son, Jeffery lay in a coffin. Sitting at a chair on the far left side of the chairs, avoiding any eye contact with her husband.
"Thank you, Jeffery," Raymond said, standing over his son's body. "For reminding me what I used to fight for." The Italian looked up at the sky, and, for an instant, saw his father and son among the stars, smiling down from Heaven. No matter where we come from...
Such as Earth-9, where the Barone family lost their son, Jeffery...
Sonny stared at her friends' headstones, letting the rain pour down on her from the black sky above. For the first time in years, a real tear of sorrow fell down the teenager's cheek. Earth-Eight, where Sonny lost her co-workers, Tawny, Niko, and Grady...
Donna, Stephanie, and Michelle Tanner, Jesse, Rebecca, Nicky, and Alex Katsopolis, Joey Gladstone, and Kimmy Gibler dropped roses on a headstone with "Danny Tanner-Loving Husband, Father, and Friend", and the headstone next to that one, with "Pamela Tanner-Loving Mother and Wife: You Are Our Sunshine" engraved into it. Earth .1, where Danny Tanner met his end, but was reunited with his beloved wife...
Earth-One, where Jesse Katsopolis can never touch his wife, Rebecca again, and Miley Stewart lost her boyfriend, Jesse...
Or Eath-Two,...where I lost my brothers,...and my friend, Teddy lost her brother, Gabe and her mother, Amy Duncan...
We are all living beings...and we must stand together...Accept that which we cannot change...Love while we can...Know that every being holds a purpose...And take one more second to look at our lives...Because nothing lasts forever...
My name is Alex Russo...And this is the story of me and my friends and family...and how we won our greatest battle...
The End...
But Never the End
