A/N: Well guys, this is it! I finally finished the story! This is the offical epilogue for Episode I! Thank you so much for everyone who has supported me! Enjoy the exciting conclusion to the series!
MUSHROOM KINGDOMGRAVEYARD
At last, the battle was over. Raix had been defeated, the planet had been saved, peace had been restored to both kingdoms. Sonic and Mario had finally put aside their differences and both of them had the honor of becoming officially friends before both kingdoms. But there was a time for mourning upon the team's return. Daisy and Luigi were gone. Mario had scheduled for the funeral and took the stand with Bastion, Leyla, Sonic, and Shadow in atendence. He delievered a deeply emotional speech for his brother and then left as Kayden regrouped with his team.
"You allright?" said Kayden.
Mario took in a breath and rubbed his eyes. "Yeah. I'm fine."
Kayden stood in front of Mario and looked at him. "I promised you before that I would bring whoever did this to Luigi to justice. But I can't do that alone. After we finish, we're heading out of this realm and onto the next so we can find Paradox."
Mario nodded. "I want to come with you."
Bastion looked confused. "Dude, you can't. You've got people to lead! You're their king!"
Mario chuckled. "I've longed for another adventure my friends. I can't stay here forever. Besides, traveling to other worlds sounds exciting. Something new for a change."
"Well if that's the case," said Sonic. "I'm coming too! At least it's not Eggman, come on I can do it!"
Kayden smirked. "Well…I don't know."
Leyla wrapped her arms around Shadow. "If he's going, I want you to come as well my love."
Shadow chuckled. "If you say so. Kayden?"
Kayden paused for a moment and looked over the 5 people standing in front of him. "Very well. Follow me."
FORSAKEN FLYING FORTRESS
PARADOX'S CHAMBER
Paradox watched the battle from the Death Egg in an orb, watching with a dark glare. How could a fire wolf defeat the darkness? How could rejects like his friends defeat Raix? Those questions swirled inside his head. Already five of the members had been killed.
"Hmhmhmhmm…impressive Seyak." Said Paradox. "You're victory however will be short lived. Soon you will feel the true power of my Ministry. When that day comes, I'll make personally sure I wipe you from existence and finish the job I started so many years ago…"
XTREME HEROES REALM TRAVELER SHIP
CODE NAME: ISONALES
INTERIOR HULL
Shadow, Sonic, and Mario stood in the middle of the room. They all were now wearing official Xtreme Heroes uniforms with their logos on the back.
"This isn't recruitment guys." Said Kayden, Bastion and Leyla standing beside him. "This is real. You aren't fighting Eggman or Bowser anymore. You're fighting forces far powerful then anything you could imagine. Us three have always been able to handle the forces but now, we face a new enemy. The Ministry of Darkness. So far, Silver, Xiara, Bowser, Eggman, and Raix are gone. For now. We have a long journey ahead of us. Therefore you understand that you may never see your families or friends again. You must be prepared to take things to a new level. Raix was only the beginning. The next time wer encounter one of these creatures, we'll be prepared."
Shadow, Sonic, and Mario nodded.
"Stakes are high guys." Said Kayden. "But you already know that. You are now members of Team Xtreme. But…we're not just a team anymore. We're not just elemental legends now. We're not just heroes. From this point on, we are…XTREME HEROES!"
