The promise of a future is something that isn't easy to forget - nor is it something to be taken for granted. So in the face of the untamed threat that the future holds, how does humanity stop repeating the mistakes of its past and move forwards to accept what has happened? Post LR AU. Eventual HxL.

After awakening in the new world, Lightning and the others embark on what they hope will be a relatively uneventful final journey - making their way to a normal life. Unfortunately, things aren't shaping up to be quite as easy as they had hoped. (Rating for later chapters and some sporadic, more colorful language.)

Alternate ending of Lightning Returns.
