Alternate Ending: The Path of Light

Tech's POV

A week has passed since Intex defeated the Super Mega Ultra Darkness Dracolich using the power of the Ultimate Bacon Orb, (which they returned immediately after). Everything went back to normal, well almost everything. I looked toward Intex, she was looking out the window. Ever since that day there was emptiness in her eyes, which we couldn't explain. We never found out her secret, we asked her after the war but she never answered.

She doesn't talk much anymore. She doesn't fight or drink and would always eat little… it felt like she lost the will to do anything. I turned my gaze to Czaph, who was looking at Intex worriedly. Even he who was the most closest to her doesn't know what was going on, it's driving him crazy. All we can do is give her space and time, and then maybe she will tell us everything. All of us were in our old hangout which is Serenity's Inn, conversation has already died.

"I can't take it anymore" Czaph snapped.

That broke her of her trance, and she looked at him.

"Please tell me… tell us what's wrong" he pleaded.

A trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, "Czaph… I-"

"Intex…" We all looked at the direction of the sound.

Intex's POV

I looked toward the direction, where I heard my name being called. The voice was so familiar… that I thought it was a dream. I saw a man with messy red hair and green eyes. He wore a different armor with the same design as he's old one, and he wore the tattered cloak of the Mysterious Stranger. He looked different but it's him, No doubt about it. I didn't think when I got up and tackle hugged him and he steadied me with a hand.

"I thought you died" I said, as he's arms slowly encircled me.

"Fool, do you think I could die so easily?" I laughed in relief.

I looked up and saw him staring softly at me, which was a rarity.

"So, what does this mean?" I asked him, confused.

"Hmph. I'm fulfilling my end of the deal, even though you didn't fulfill yours"

"Lynaria?" I asked and he shook his head.

"I realized that it's better to move on, then to continue living in the past" I nod.

"Intex… who is that?" Czaph asked.

I turned, to see a crowd of people staring at us. I grinned embarrassed, about the attention I drew. I pulled Sepulchure to sit beside me.

"I'll start from the beginning… but please keep an open mind"
