The Gang and the others surrounded Otome, as she was cornered. Nagisa called out, "Any fate that would side with you now… Any shred of despair that you have left… Any opportunity that would've come your way… your so-called guardian angel can't save you! Your lucky streak is coming to a painful end! Nothing compares to the Heart of Justice that's here, right now! They're going to make you pay for what you've done! Can you feel it, Otome Saotome? The truth is revealed right in your face! YOU'RE NOTHING COMPARED TO THEM!"

Otome was bugging out, as she was surrounded. She was trapped. Badly injured, badly hurt, Otome Saotome was stuck in a checkmate by The Gang and friends! Luck was definitely on Otome Saotome's side – the bad kind!

The police and fire trucks arrived, as Otome was down on one knee. Peter said, "She's Kaede Kayano, which means… She's Otome Saotome – The Sketch Artist Killer!"

Otome sobbed, "This is a dream… Please, this has to be a dream… I'm dreaming… This moment that I am cornered and trapped like a helpless rat, I must be in my dreams! I'm in a nightmare, and I need to wake up! I, Otome Saotome, am trapped, with NO help!"

Otome Saotome was cornered. She lost Junko, she lost Stray Cat, she's injured, the others already know her true name, and she's about to be defeated.

Asahi said, "Otome Saotome, it's over! You have nowhere to run!"

Chazz called, "I'd say that luck was on your side… BAD luck!"

Nagisa called, "It's over, Saotome! You're finished!"

Tsukasa said, "So, the woman injured… OH! And Princeton's badly hurt!"

Kazuki said, "And while we were waiting, that asshole started to battle, without us!"

Steven said, "And this is the end…" he added, "So… with these people around, should we arrest her?"

As they were about to discuss it, the paramedics went closer to her. A female paramedic went to her, as the others were clearing the area. She called, "BRING A STRETCHER! We have an injured woman!"

She called to her, "Are you alright? We'll have you in ER, right away."

Nagisa gasped, "NO! DON'T LET HER GET NEAR SAOTOME!"

They all cried, as Otome was trying to get up. The paramedic said, "It's alright, ma'am. You're badly hurt. Hang in there…"

Otome smiled, as she heard the woman's voice. She thought, "My… opportunity…"

She reached to the paramedic and said, "Ma'am…"

She grabbed her hand and said, "Yes!" She thought, "Lethal Queen Bomb Type Three is now planted into the woman!"

The others watched in horror, as Asahi gasped, "Shit, not good!"

Farra whispered, "That female paramedic is now a bomb!"

Kazuki said, "Peter, we need you to stop time! It's the only way!"

Farra said to Steven, "Steven, use Hokuto The World! Peter will join you! I know it! KILL SAOTOME!"

Steven growled, "NO! I won't! Even if I did, Steven Cooke's not close enough!"

Peter explained, "We're too far away from here to use the time stop! I have to get about five meters closer!"

Chazz called, "You turned that woman into a bomb? Just try it! I'll revive her with Ojama Star, before it goes off!"

Nagisa cried, "NO! IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE! SAOTOME… SHE'S USING… BITES THE DUST!"

They all gasped, as Iwata gasped, "WHAAAAAAAAAAAT? BITES THE DUST?!"

Ropponmatsu 1 said, "That woman is a bomb?"

Ropponmatsu 2 asked, "What's Bites the Dust?"

Nagisa said, "Bites the Dust can blow away time! She's used it to that woman, as a temporal point! But it can only work on people who are not Stand Users, like me or that lady! And it activates, when Saotome is in danger! That means, if she's in total despair, it'll go off, and send us back to the start of the current morning!"

They all gasped, as Asahi whimpered, "WHAT? You're joking!"

Chazz roared, "WHAT THE HELL? YOU'RE TELLING THAT TO US, NOW?!"

Farra asked, "Bites the Dust? Reset the entire morning?"

Tsukasa whimpered, "If she set it off, what happens now?"

Kagami gasped, "We… can't stop her?"

"Then… Then it's over! We lost!" Asahi was shocked completely.

She was shaken in fright, as she was scared. Farra snarled, "Damn her! I'll kill that bitch, if I have to! And me without any time stop abilities!"

Steven said, "We have no choice… we have to go in, five meters closer!"

Kagami whispered, "You sure it'll work?"

Otome said to the medic, as she was erotically breathing, "Ma'am… … … Your hands are so soft… and your bone structure is so perfectly aligned… I think I'm having an orgasm…"

She rubbed her hand onto her cheek and said, "Before I was an inspiring artist… I was in awe of a painting called "Mona Lisa", by Leonardo Di Vinci. I was in awe of that painting, in one of my art books. I couldn't bear to look at her eyes, hair, and cleavage… Those hands… Those hands are what I adore… When I first saw that, my heart was palpitating, and… well, not to sound lewd, but… my vagina was leaking out in ecstasy…"

Peter, Farra, Steven, Kazuki, Kagami, & Chazz all roared, as they gagged, shouting, "EWWWW! T-M-I!"

Otome continued, "I just cut out the part with her hands, and hung it up on my wall. It was actually a printed photocopy I took, and just admired the hand jobs." She pleaded, "I want to cut your hands off, too… Or maybe just have it plastered in my room, just to masturbate to! I BEG OF YOU! This is a perfect pair of hands to cum to!"

She jerked her hands away and cried, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? MISS, CONTROL YOURSELF!"

Steven gasped, "This woman is insane!"

Iwata cried, "She's hand-crazy!"

She kneeled to her, as her eyes were swirling, "My name is Otome Saotome… I've killed about 48 women with beautiful hands, up to now… And I promised my master to kill 16 souls in one day, to bring her back! I never accomplished that goal, as of late! And you're the only one to do it! You know who I am, my true identity…"

Peter gasped, "Sixteen…"
Asahi shivered, "Souls…"
Farra whispered, "Junko's revival…"
Steven cried, "It can't be…"

Steven counted, "There's us, that's four, Chazz, Sendo, Tsukasa and Kagami… that's eight… Nagisa… nine… Iwata, the robots, Kotonoha… 12… 13…" he then looked around the area, and gasped, seeing a couple people near Saotome. He thought, "No… She said… Sixteen! There's about over twenty, NO, thirty people!"

Chazz growled, "What? Junko Enoshima's revival?"

Peter snarled, "It all makes sense… The Killing Game… in Hope's Peak Academy… Sixteen students, including Junko herself… That was how many there were in the Hope's Peak Killing Game, which resulted in The Tragedy! Saotome's using the same amount to resurrect the Ultimate Despair!"

Farra roared, "So, that's her plan!"

The paramedic's left eye shone purple, as Nagisa yelled, "NO-NO-NO-NO-NO, SHE'S ACTIVATED BITES THE DUST!" He cried, as he was panicking, "IF WE DON'T KILL HER NOW, EVERYONE DIES!"

Kazuki cried, "Giese, what is this about? Sixteen souls to sacrifice? What is the meaning of this?"

Peter barked, "Junko Enoshima's revival! It makes sense… Junko was planned to be revived, by the death of sixteen of her victims, in the same day! If she succeeds, Junko Enoshima will be restored! AND EVERYONE AROUND HERE WILL PERISH!"

Chazz cried, "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? A MASS SACRIFICAL OFFERING TO DESPAIR?!"

Tsukasa shouted, "THIS CANNOT HAPPEN!"

Iwata hollered, "SOMEONE STOP HER!"

Peter and Steven had no choice! They rushed to Otome, as Tsukasa cried, "Agent Giese!"

Kazuki followed, likewise Chazz, but he stumbled down, still injured. Asahi held him and cried, "CHAZZ! NO!"

The two Gang Guys rushed forward, as Otome growled, "Bastards…" She smirked and called, "Are you coming for me, The Gang? You're too late! Bites the Dust was created so I didn't want to fight any of you!"

Asahi was on her knees and sobbed, "No… They won't make it… It's over…" She was too scared to move.

Kagami cried, "STOP HER!"

Iwata called, "SOMEONE! STOP TIME, OR SOMETHING!"

Asahi sobbed, "Otome Saotome is going to win…"

Farra called, "You two, get her!"

She already had the female medic hostage. She cried, "It's enough range from all that pressure I have taken! The more I'm in danger, the harder the explosion will be!"

Asahi wept, "Junko Enoshima has won… Despair… it's… it's happening…"

Chazz called out, as he stayed, "DON'T LET HER THROW THE SWITCH!"

Asahi was shaken, "We… We failed… We can't win…"

Otome cackled, "Wrong! THIS is the limit! GAME OVER!"

Asahi sobbed, "NO!"

CLICK!
Otome pushed the switch down.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Asahi's screams echoed the entire area, but it was all too late! Otome's Bites the Dust was activated and she was sent flying into the huge explosion.

"I DID IT!" She cried, as she was being sucked in, "JUNKO ENOSHIMA! I DID IT! DESPAIR LIVES ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!"

SHOOOP!
She was sucked into the vortex, and everything went black.

Episode 52 – Chapter 5: The End of Despair…
Farewell, F City…

Junko suddenly appeared, in a quiet street near F City, with blue sky and chirping birds. She thought, "How'd I get here? Last thing I remembered… This bastard killed me, after tricking Otome Saotome of killing me, thinking it's Princeton!"

She sighed, "Doesn't matter. Only…"

She looked at her body, as she grinned, "My body… it came back! I'm not in a photograph, anymore!"

She cried out in glee, "It did the effect! Bites the Dust somehow was able to eliminate the cause and problem, and now, Saotome did it! I LIVE AGAIN!"

She cackled, "She beat them! WE WON! WE BEAT THE GANG! And now, despair falls in this shitty little town, and we'll be free! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

Suddenly, birds flew through her, as she gasped, "Eh?"

She looked at herself, "Birds flew through my chest, and they were behind me? Well, that's a given, since I'm a ghost and all… So, what and where am I?"

She walked down the path and said, "Come to think of it… This isn't the normal pathway to get to school, nor is this where Saotome goes to her job. Bites the Dust should've set back the whole morning, meaning my demise would've been negated, and Saotome would be at work, right about now. Hmm, what time is it now-?"

She looked at her wrist, but then said, "Oh, wait… Saotome had her watch in her breast pocket, after the attack, just for protection. Good thing she hid it into mine-."

She looked at her watch, which is broken, set at 8:29am. She cried, "WHAT? THE WATCH BROKE?! I thought Bites the Dust would work, since I gave it to her! It should be 7:29, right now! Damn that Nagisa! He and Stray Cat smashed that watch, and if Saotome used Bites the Dust, it'd be back to normal!"

A voice called, "You haven't realized it yet, Junko Enoshima?"

It was Sakura and Romero, as she said, "So, the Kaede Kayano that Mr. Sendo showed me in the picture is actually Otome Saotome, your apprentice killer, right? And that means it's all over. You've lost, Junko Enoshima. How pitiful… The Ultimate Despair hoisted by those she'd spit upon."

Junko asked, "Uh, hey, you, who the hell are you?"

Sakura asked, "You don't even remember who I am? Well, that's a surprise. I was dead, eleven years ago… by something traumatic."

She grasped onto her arm and roared, "ARE YOU ONE OF THEM?! A STAND USER, LIKE SAOTOME? ARE YOU WITH THOSE MEDDLESOME LOSERS, THE GANG, PRINCETON, THE HIIRAGIS, AND THE REST?"

Sakura stated, "I can't tell you, but I'm going to show you that you are already dead!"

"I WON! Otome Saotome revived me! And you're a pesky bitch that is a liar!"

"NO! I'm the bearer of bad news! Saotome did nothing of the sorts! The only reason you're here is because YOU'RE STILL DEAD! LOOK!"

Junko gasped, "She-. WHAT?"

She punched Junko's shoulder, piercing through her body, like a ghost, as Junko screamed in horror. Sakura continued, "I am NOT a Stand User, nor this is a power of a Spirit Caller or Stand! This is cold hard proof of the murderous soul of a psychopathic serial killer that'll rot until the end of time!"

Sakura lunged into Junko's heart, and roared, "Tell me… Do you remember… remembered how you died, likewise your apprentice? Let's start with your downfall!"

She showed a flashback of Junko and Peter, fighting in Hope's Peak, a while back.

Junko held up a red button, and called, "It ends now… Hope is fleeting, and all you have left is despair!"

Peter called, "Maybe so… but I'm ending your resurrection, one way or another. The world's already gone through enough corruption, as it is!"

Junko sneered, "Very droll…"

This is what really happened to Junko, before her death…

Peter's aura increased, as he called, "Darkness Devil!"

He slashed the button off her hands, as he stared down in dark malice. All Junko could do was standing in disappointment.

Junko scoffed, "Intense. The Big Guy shows his dark side… Despair is boiled into you, and wields it in a light of justice. Bravo… Spouting off about injustice, hating being negative…"

She hollered, "SCREW ALL THAT! YOU AND YOUR DASTARDLY DEVIL POWERS CAN GO TO HELL!"

He said, "It doesn't matter what you say, Enoshima."

She held her hand to her face and hissed, "You are an imbecile…"

"…and maybe it's flat-out stupid to be representing hope and despair, in the name of justice!"

She went cute and gasped, "BOY COOTIES~! EW~!"

He called, "But I will not let this happen again! Never again!"

She went Queen and called, "You will bow down before me!"

He said, "Fuck you. You can never make me, because you already felt my wrath before."

She went rocker and yelled, "Who are you trying to scare?"

He continued, "My wrath fears you!"

She went smart and called, "Death awaits you, fool."

He yelled, "Whatever happens, know this…"

She imitated Monokuma, "Look who's going Beast Mode, precious!"

"You can piss me off, all you want, but know this… Hope, despair, it makes no difference! I'M ALWAYS ANGRY! ZERO HOPE! ZERO DESPAIR! ONLY CHAOS!"

Junko hollered, "SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP! The more you flap your gums, the more it will end you!"

She charged at him, and roared, "DESPAIR FOR TOMORROW! DESPAIR AT THE THOUGHT OF THE UNKNOWN! DESPAIR THAT YOUR MEMORIES ARE MADE UP TO LAST!"

He stood in place and huffed, "Good grief… You know, Despair always wins, if we let it…"

She charged at him, but…
"ORA!"
He socked her with a Phantom Punch, sending her backwards. She stepped back and was bleeding lightly, "Damn it… How the hell can he move that fast?"

She seethed, as he called, "Good fucking grief… Not gonna complain about your ugly face? So you, the fashionista… Why don't you show me how much of a powerful evil genius that you are? You want despair, I'm wide open. That is, if you want to live with the fact that history will repeat itself, with you… the loser, as usual. Either way, that shows how much of a coward you are."

She snapped, "AAAAAGH! CA-, CA-, COWARD?! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU SPEAKING TO? I'M JUNKO ENOSHIMA, THE ULTIMATE DESPAIR!"

"Well then…" he smirked, "You can call me The Ultimate Grim Reaper."

"YOU? YOU?! YOU'RE NOT EVEN SMART! YOU'RE NOT EVEN AN ELITE! HOPE FUELS YOU, BUT DESPAIR PREVAILS IN THE END!"

"Sorry. But neither hope nor despair fuels me, one bit. Not against you, or your stupid plans of Armageddon. So, what's that about killing me, and ending my life, living in despair?"

She roared in anger. She hollered, as he charged at him, about to strike, "GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! YOU FUCKING FAT PRICK! I'LL KILL YOU!"

Junko went closer, as Peter hollered, "NANTO! UNLEASH THE WORLD!"

Time suddenly stopped, as Junko was almost to Peter. He scoffed, as he said, "So much for despair…"

He grumbled, "We haven't started fighting, and already she lands the first strike… Oh, gimme a break."

He held his fist up and called, "Well… Left is Hope, right is Despair… It doesn't matter what I punch FIRST!"

POW!
He punched a left to Junko's face, "HOPE!", and a right hook to the abdomen, "DESPAIR!" He bellowed out, as he was fuming in a huge black aura, with his eyes black and his irises red, "DAY OF WRATH – FINAL HOUR! Hope and Despair does not faze me… only CHAOS!"

Junko remained unfazed and in place, as she was open for Peter's huge attack. He roared at the top of his lungs, "GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

POW-POW-POW-POW-POW!
"ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA!"
He landed a massive barrage of Chaos Punches, five times as deadlier, since he has three Phantoms and his Darkness Devil. His inner beast finally let out the rage and chaos that awaited the Patriarch of Despair.

He turned away, and sliced his fingers upwards, slicing at Junko's chest. He then calmed down and concluded, "That's enough. Time in."

Time resumed, as Junko stopped. She gasped, "Wha? How did he turn-?"

POW! WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" She was mutilated by Peter's Time Stop assault, as he said, without looking, "You… are already dead."

Junko gasped, "What happened?" as she cried, "HOW DID HE DO IT?" Her body started to split from in-between her upper body, as she hollered, in her final words, "NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

Her body exploded in blood, and she collapsed to the ground, bloodied and dead. Junko Enoshima was killed by Peter Giese. Peter snuffed, as he dusted his hands, "Mission complete."

He turned away, "You know, Junko, I told a certain enemy this, one time, when saving my wife… Hope, despair, it doesn't matter to me…
You pissed me off. Was it worth it?"

He kept walking, as Junko foresaw her own death.

She whispered, "Well, damn. That's what happened?"

In Peter's version, he stated that Junko was about to unleash despair, all over again, but was actually killed in the process. However, he hid the fact that he gave Junko the punishment she deserved.

Sakura called, "Remember everything now, before you resurfaced to cause your bloodshed? That's proof that Despair can lose to Justice!"

Junko was bleeding from the head and chest, as she growled, "I don't know what is going on… but under no circumstances that I am already dead…"

Sakura said, "Yet, you continued a legacy of murder and despair, in spirit… Otome Saotome's already finished off, and she'll be joining me, soon enough, and soon… it'll all be over."

Junko barked, "You little bitch! You egged on those havers, did you? You did all this to find the Sketch Artist Killer, and they succeeded! Well, guess what? THEY LOST! When I died, and vanished, I remembered that Otome Saotome had one Bites the Dust, which puts a tragic end to The Gang AND their friends! I WON!"

Sakura said, "No… You failed. Saotome is dead… Allow me to show you…"

She showed the final moments of Otome's battle with The Gang and others. Here's what happened…

A bloodied Otome was cornered, as Iwata and the Ropponmatsus were behind her. The Gang, Kazuki, & Kotonoha were already in front, while Tsukasa, Kagami, and Nagisa were by the side. People were shocked, as they gathered to watch the conflict endure. Otome growled, "Bastards…"

Iwata called, "SOMEONE! STOP TIME, OR SOMETHING!"

Farra called, "You two, get her!"

She already had the female medic hostage, and was about to hit Bites the Dust, again. Chazz was injured, as Steven and Peter ran to her. He called out, as he stayed, "DON'T LET HER THROW THE SWITCH!"

Otome cackled, "Wrong! THIS is the limit! GAME OVER!"

She pushed the thumbs down, but her hand suddenly crashed to the ground. She was stuck tight by THX Act 3's Heavy Ability.

THX Act 3 called, "THREE FREEZE! Primary target is now at Five Meters! S! H! I! T!"

"Damn it! Not this again!" Otome cried.

Tsukasa called, "Enough to pin you down, Saotome! You're not blowing anybody up again!"

"No… If she uses that switch… what then?" Asahi whimpered.

Farra called, "They're already there! BIG GUY! STEVEN! STOP TIME!"

Asahi was too shocked and scared to move, as Otome slowly pulled her hand up. She griped, "Damn it… DAMN IT! ROTTEN BASTARDS! ALL OF YOU! OTOME SAOTOME HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY TROUBLE THAT SHE CAN'T CONQUER! RELEASE ME, YOU INSIGNIFICANT PESTS!"

She was trying her hardest to lift her hand, but used her free hand to lift it up. Chazz gasped, "NO WAY!"

Kagami cried, "SHE DIDN'T!"

Otome clutched her fist, "IT'S TOO LATE, YOU BASTARDS! I STILL WIN!"

Asahi shrieked, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

WHOOSH!
Asahi's screams echoed the area, but… … … the area suddenly stopped time, as she suddenly saw everything freeze in place. She whispered, "Huh? Chazz? Everyone?"

She then saw her bracelet glow, and then whispered, "Mech-Asahi?"

Her Stand appeared and said to her, "Asahi… These buttons… the red and blue… Use them, only to stop Saotome, once and for all… This is perfect to give yourself redemption… What they did to everyone… including Maki… all these years, let it go. Avenge them, your way…"

Asahi nodded, as she replied, "You're right. Tsukasa… I'm truly grateful, for such a reliable ally… but…"

She pressed the buttons and said, "I'm doing this for everyone that died. It ends here, Otome Saotome!"

She called out, as she started to run, "MECHA POWER – IDOL DIAMOND!"

She ran after Otome's body, and smashed Lethal Queen's right wrist with a deadly left punch. This disabled her Bites the Dust ability, and then… she inhaled and unleashed Mech-Asahi, one more time.

She revved her punches and called, "Maki… I'm sorry… THIS IS FOR YOU!"

POW! POW! POW! POW!
"DORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Her Stand began to lambast and brutally punch Lethal Queen in a huge thunderous barrage. She stopped, as she held her bracelet and said, turning around, "This is why… I won't let anyone else die again… Not again… This was for everybody that fell to your hands… For you, Sumiyoshi, Watanabe, Misaki… and Minatsu…"

She smiled, as she was about to press it, "And even you, Maki… See you soon…"

She pressed the buttons and called, "Time starts again!"

SHOOP!
Time began to move, and suddenly, Otome was sent flying, in a huge stream of blood.

Kagami gasped, "WHAT THE-?"

The Aces gasped, as Chazz cheered, "ASA!"

Tsukasa cheered, "SHE DID IT!"

Nagisa cried, "They made it in time!"

Otome landed on the street, badly injured and bloodied. She groaned, "N-n-n-n-n-no… I… have to… push it…"

Asahi growled, "Even if you would, your arms are already broken. You lose, Otome Saotome!"

Farra asked in shock, "Eh? What just happened?"

Peter replied, "Dunno… But I think our Agent Sakurai has grown up, somehow."

Iwata was confused, "Did… Did Asahi Sakurai went all the way to Otome Saotome, in a split-second?!"

Otome was struggling, as she was pinned down, "Damn you… You… rotten… piece of shit… You haven't beaten me… And when I do… have Bites the Dust… will hunt you down… This is far from over…"

The woman cried, "BUT HOW? She just flew into the air!"

Asahi boomed, glaring at Saotome, "Go ahead and push it. I'd like to see you try. I'm not afraid of you…"

The woman cried, "Miss, what are you-?"

"STAY BACK!" Asahi shouted, "Make sure that her arms aren't moving! This woman… She's…"

Otome couldn't move her arms, at all. She cried out, "I'll push that button… come on, move, damn you… I'll blow you all to hell… If I do… I'll have… my life of peace… and quiet… at last… I'm… I'm going… to… push it… Push… it… Push… dammit…"

She started to barely move her arm, as Kazuki said, "I know she's our enemy, but still, in that short amount of time, her determination to win never ceases to amaze me… But watching this, it's so sad…"

A man called out, "WAIT! STOP! PULL BACK! STOP! YOU'RE GONNA RUN OVER THIS GUY!"
An ambulance rolled by, as it was heading towards Otome, already pinned to the ground. The woman shrieked, as the ambulance stopped.

CRUSH!
Chazz gasped, "Oh, shit!"

Everyone was shocked, as they saw with their own eyes… Otome Saotome was crushed by the ambulance, killing her instantly!

The medic called, "DRIVE BACK! YOU RAN OVER THAT WOMAN! DRIVE BACK!"

The second medic shouted, "YOU IDIOT! This girl was injured, and you run her over!"

The driver called, "I didn't know she was there! Lemme move! Hold on!"

"MOVE! PULL FORWARD, DAMMIT!"

The vehicle moved away, as the others were shocked, and then disgusted. The police held the others back, to avoid anything. One of the medics went to Chazz and asked if he's injured, but Chazz says that he's fine. The men in white examined Saotome, but one of the doctors called, "No use. She's dead. Killed instantly."

Nagisa gasped, as Kotonoha gasped, "Wha-? She's dead?"

The driver said, "It's like either she wanted to kill herself, or she suddenly lunged into the back of the ambulance, out of accidental use!"

The woman said, "It's because she was already injured. I tried to restrain her, but I was too late. It's my fault I let her get killed. I will take full responsibility for this."

Peter growled, "Unbelievable!"

Steven added, "Life can be bizarre."

The doctor said, "She was pinned between the tire and asphalt, her skin's ripped off her face by the force…"

The policeman asked, "Pardon me, but this girl… Who was she?"

The woman said, "From what she told me, her name was Otome Saotome."

The policeman said, "Saotome, eh? It does ring a bell… I wonder what…"

The second policeman said, as a tarp was draped over Otome's body, "From what I gathered, her last name is related to a group of samurai in F City, from the old days. From what I hear, there was only one of its members that lived alone, with no family…"

Tsukasa said, "She died… of an accidental death."

Iwata sobbed, "No… She's dead! We failed! Otome Saotome was supposed to be apprehended, not dead!"

Kazuki added, "But it's best this way… Junko Enoshima used Otome Saotome, like a puppet on a string. When the strings were loose, Saotome was free to do whatever she wanted… Saotome escaped a trial by law and an apprehension charge. There was no better outcome, after what she's done; she and Enoshima, both."

Nagisa prayed, as he held up his booklet, "It's finally over… Akari, it's finally over… I knew little about who she was… Kaede Kayano, no, Akari Yukimura … I can't believe you're gone… Even so, when that girl killed her… I wanted her punished… I wanted Kaede's killer to be brought to justice…"

The others were upset, as Nagisa was saddened over what happened; though, Otome Saotome was finally dead. The Gang was victorious… albeit, via luck and somewhat coincidence. Either way, it was over.

Junko was stunned, witnessing the last minutes of the battle, "Saotome's dead? Wow… After all that work, I lost? Huh… What do you know?"

Sakura turned away, without looking, as she responded, "Junko Enoshima, you are defeated. The Sketch Artist Killer is no more! YOU FAILED!"

Junko roared, "HOLD ON! Just who or what are you? How the hell do you even know my name, anyway? I'm done playing your games!"

Sakura said, "I'm evidence… Eleven years ago, you didn't even have a Stand to make your victims disappear, like your unholy pupil… and that's why, when I was murdered, it made front-page headlines…"

She exposed her back to Junko and shouted, "REMEMBER THIS? Otome Saotome didn't bother taking my hand, because you think I'm not that special! Was it? Maybe you did it, just to cover tracks, while you plan to break the record, held by Yoshikage Kira! You never learn, even in death!"

Junko was shocked, but then said, "So… That was you? You're…? Oh, my god…"

She cheered, "THIS IS NO GREATER FEELING IN THE WORLD! Sakura Minamoto?! That's you? O-M-G! I remember now! You're dead, like me!"

She held her shoulder and called, "Where were you, these past eleven years, huh? I've not heard wind of you! Oh, wait… I killed you, didn't I?"

She paused, as Sakura did not turn around. Junko hissed, "Wait a minute…"

She viewed the red mailbox, as she said, "So, that's it, huh? Are you trying to end me with a silly ghost story? You're nuts! This is where you'd turn around, is it? All that despair implanted into you, and you'd show your wounds at me; the very same wounds I gave you… since I also killed your parents and dog, as well. Why did I do it, you ask? For crap's sake, I murdered my own twin sister, and you don't see me wail and weep in sadness! You think I would weep for a death that I cause! I lived for despair!
OH! And speaking of my sister, she told me, prior to her death, that there's a road in any city, inhabited by the realm of the living and the dead, smack-dab in-between. And if you were to turn around, past this point, an uncontrollable power will grip you away, straight to an abyss of misery, correct?"

She barked, "I know I'm just guessing, but… You weren't forcing me to turn around, to see your wounds! Dumbass! What's wrong with you? I wasn't dead yesterday, you know! Blame the fatass that put me down! But know this, I killed many a fool, after they did murder, and I'm going to enjoy despair, until I rise up again! I always come back, and I don't believe in give peace a chance! I live, because despair is everywhere! Hope is a bane of my existence! There's always despair, no matter who it is, dead or alive!"

She gripped Sakura's head and snickered, "Well, why don't you turn around? You will turn around for me… I wanna see you, one more time. And don't you dare say anything to object despair! Don't take this away from me! I'm the living breathing embodiment of despair! I will not be taken down by hope! When hope leaves a bad taste in your mouth, the only thing you're looking forward to is the spectacular final agony, like a BIG FAT KISS MY ASS!"

Sakura grinned, "You still don't get it, do you? Did you really think I'd let you win, expecting me to turn around for you? Junko Enoshima, I knew exactly what you're pulling, and know this… Hope, Despair, they are but what you are and are not for… but you're a disease to this world. The catalyst of this drama must be purged…"

The entire area turned demonic, as Sakura turned into a zombie, "Fool… We didn't force you to come, just to plead for a second chance… In fact… We've actually been waiting for you, all these years… Sketch Artist Killer…"

Junko gasped, "We? As in…"

CHOMP!
Sakura roared, "RIP IT OFF!" Romero chomped onto Junko's right wrist, biting it off. "Good boy, Romero!"

Junko screeched, "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! YOU FUCKING MUTT! Huh?"

She suddenly saw the mailbox, and was forced to turn around, landing on the ground. And suddenly, the undead arms appeared from a black portal and grabbed Junko's spirit, by the legs and arms, as she was being dragged away.

"WHAT THE HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL?" Junko screamed, as she was being dragged away, "WHAT IS THIS?"

Sakura said, without looking, "Now, in your words, it's punishment time… This time, one which you will never return. Your hour of reckoning has finally come!"

Junko pleaded, as she was pulled apart, "WHAT ARE THESE THINGS?! YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS!"

Most of her limbs were being pulled out and her skin and clothing being shredded by the ghostly hands that clasped onto her.

Junko screamed, as she was being dragged off, pink blood splattering everywhere, "THIS ISN'T OVER, YOU BITCH! YOU HEAR ME? DESPAIR IS EVERYWHERE, EVEN IN MY DEATH! YOU KNOW I WILL BE BACK! JUNKO ENOSHIMA ALWAYS COMES BACK!"

Sakura said, "Not this time… Wherever you go now, you will never bring despair to anyone, ever again. But who knows? Just like Otome Saotome, who will receive the same punishment, you're not going to Heaven or Hell… but actually to someplace where you will never rest in peace…"

She concluded, as she walked off, "Want to know a secret? Despair always comes back… But… … …alive or dead, you won't be around to see it again, eventually!"

Junko screamed, as she was sucked into the dark vortex, and then shrieked, "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN YOOOOOOOOOOOOU, MINAMOTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

After that, the vortex swallowed Junko Enoshima into a vast abyss of nothingness. The nightmare of the Sketch Artist Killer was finally over. Junko Enoshima, the puppet master to Otome Saotome, was no more. Sakura and Romero returned to the alleyway entrance, after that. She hugged her dog and wept, "Now… It's over… We can finally pass on… together…"

Sakura Minamoto's job was done. With Otome Saotome and Junko Enoshima dead, her death was avenged, among many others in their cold hands. It was time to pass on, to the other side. Despite that The Gang was victorious over the Sketch Artist Killer, albeit out of coincidence and luck, peace was finally restored in F City, at last. One year ago, they saved the world from Humanity's Fate… and now, 2019… they ended an 11-year old unsolved mystery, avenging everyone that died in the hands of the most illustrious serial killer of despair.

[The Gang's Mission: Stop the Sketch Artist Killer in F City: MISSION COMPLETE!]

Moments after that, Asahi was outside the F City Grand Hotel, as she held her wrist. She was relieved that she stopped Otome Saotome. But it didn't bring back everyone that died. But Asahi could only smile, as she whispered, "Minami… Thank you…"

The others watched on, as Michelle said, "Asahi really did it? She stopped the Sketch Artist Killer, by herself?"

Steven said, "Princeton was still injured, and we were almost at her range. But I have a feeling Asahi didn't want to stand by and see this happening, again… Somehow, she opened her heart and finally grew courage to fight back."

Farra agreed, as she said, "Asahi… She's new to us, by experience, but she's going places."

Peter chuckled, "Gimme a break… We're supposed to be the heroes, but I guess-."

Michelle said, "Big Lad, you're wrong." She explained, "She's a part of this team, more than any of you. If it were you two, then it would be different. Asahi reacted, and she finally broke out of her shell of wariness. If she won, we win, since we're a team."

"It's because of Maki, was it?"

"Correct. When she saw Minami Makimura becoming a whole different person, by the Moji Mikisa's doing, everything changed for her. She was struggling to get stronger, but she was hurt, emotionally. From what I sense, since the battles with MIO and the DNC, she is getting stronger and stronger… She has friendship, after all…"

Peter sighed, "No matter how you put it, Asahi Sakurai may be a bit timid, but…"

Steven said, "She's one of us, after all…"

Farra stated, "Yeah, but… I wonder if she'll know the real truth, someday…"

Asahi looked to the sky and said, in a quiet voice, "Misaki… Minatsu… Shiouji… everyone… We did it…"

She prayed to the skies, as she was happy that she helped avenge those that perished in the hands of Junko Enoshima and Otome Saotome, among others.

Meanwhile, at Castle Darkveil, Luzer returned, as he saw Kendra, still a stone statue, as he whispered, "I did it, master… The world is saved, and the threat of despair is all over. Kendra Knight, thank you for the courage to help me out."

Kendra's voice called, "You did right, my friend…" She whispered, as she was echoing from within, "But my time is over… Luzer, learn to harness what you have known, until the time comes. You are the chosen one to take my place. Not only will you assist Peter Giese, but you will also find the next protégé for my rule… I have taught you everything I needed, in order to stop despair… Junko Enoshima's flame is finally extinguished… but… There are others that want to bring despair back… for a whole Danganronpa World."

"Danganronpa?"

"Luzer, my student… No… Count Lazarus, as you go by, from here on, in this kingdom… You will take my place as the master of Yoru no Tsumi Ken. Now, take your place to the throne…"

Luzer said, as he was upset, "I can't… I am not a good student… But I have failed a couple times. I almost failed, when Saotome found me out. You can't leave… YOU CAN'T! AFTER WHAT I DID FOR MY FRIENDS, YOU JUST CAN'T LEAVE!"

He blubbered, "COUNTESS! DON'T LEAVE ME! I'M LONELY, WITHOUT YOU! DON'T LEAVE ME!"

Kendra appeared, from inside the statue, as she smiled. She petted him and said, "I will return, someday… For now, enjoy your freedom. In fact, I have a gift for you… for you to enjoy…"

Kendra transported Luzer into another dimension, as he flew towards a downed Otome Saotome, who's back to her original form, with her hair done in a bob, and her height being tiny.

Luzer smirked, "Well, well, well… If it isn't the Sketch Artist Killer… And only 6 inches shorter, too… I have bad news… Junko Enoshima's gone to hell, with NO despair waiting for her. You'll be joining her, soon enough."

Otome looked at the crow and gasped, "You… You did this to me… You killed me, when I said, that I refuse to fight… There's never been any trouble that I, Otome Saotome, am unable to overcome! EVER! Luck was on my side, and you took it all away."

Luzer called, "How does it feel to fall into your own despair? Junko Enoshima is no more! Her soul is NOW in Hell! Everything she worked for, for those past 11 years, is finally over. And you were a pawn in all this."

She gasped, "Wha-? Just… JUST WHO ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU?"

Luzer said, "I am the demon crow, Luzer Lazarus, born and bred in Transylvania! I am the demon of the night, and the proud pupil of Yoru no Tsumi Ken, for thousands of years! I… am the Dark Crow of Chaos! You can call me… THE ULTIMATE CHAOS!"

Luzer – Title: Ultimate Chaos!

Otome whispered, "Ultimate… … …Chaos? You're… the definition of calamity?!" She was shocked and speechless, as she whimpered, "So that's why… When you came around, it's been one disaster after another… and you came along… and suddenly clasped onto me, like I was gripped with the holy poison! You're evil… YOU'RE EVIL! I didn't want to kill, but I had no choice! I left SOX, because I was bored! Everything changed for me, since I left Tokioka Academy! I chose to LEAVE SOX, for my ambitions! Don't you get it? All I ever wanted… was to live peacefully… like a plant… And now, it's over… You did this to me… You vampire crow! YOU DID THIS TO ME, YOU FUCKING BIRD! I LOST EVERYTHING, BECAUSE OF YOU, AND FATE HAS CHOSEN ME AS THE WINNER! BUT YOU COME ALONG AND RUINED MY LIFE, YOU FEATHERY PIECE OF SHIT!"

Luzer smirked, as he flew upwards. He transformed into a human form, as he said, "And? Why am I not surprised?"

He turned himself into a male human, in pale white skin, a black cape and suit, and slick black hair. He said, "Otome Saotome… You admit that you didn't vant to kill… nor that you vant to fight… But… You vere a pawn to Junko Enoshima… You killed many victims, so you shouldn't be spared. Zis is your penance, murderer."

He perched onto a tombstone and continued, "And now… You're dead… Deceased… and most importantly… LUNCH TIME!"

"Lunch?"

Hands appeared from the ground, as she was being grasped by the many undead hands. Zombies appeared from under the dirt, as they were the many lives that Saotome claimed, including the undead corpses of Misaki, Watanabe, & Sumiyoshi.

Luzer turned around and said, "Zis… is your punishment, my dear Saotome… Time to be ze blue plate special… for my army of ze undead!"

Otome was being grappled, as she shouted, "YOU'RE… A MANIAC!"

Luzer wasn't looking, as he said, "I vish to devour you, as I enjoy ze blood of ze unjust, but I'm full… I'm saving myself for dinner…"

Otome roared, "I'LL MAKE YOU SUCK YOUR OWN DICK, YOU FUCKER! LETHAL QUEEN! KILL THAT VAMPIRE! TURN THESE ZOMBIES INTO BOMBS!"

Lethal Queen was unleashed, as she went after him, but the zombies started to pull her limbs apart. The other zombies grabbed onto Lethal Queen, ripping the Stand apart, and gnawing onto its body. Otome was completely terrified, as she whimpered, "Oh… god… No… What are you doing? Where are you taking me? Say something, you creepy bird! Please, why are the zombies trying to devour me? I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING TO ME! ANSWER ME!"

Luzer said, "I have no clue… But… YOU, Otome Saotome, vill never get your peace and tranquility, for the rest of your afterlife… REPENT, YOU VILE WOMAN!"

She was pulled down into a huge dark tornado of zombies and corpses, sucking Otome into the ground.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

She disappeared, after that, as Luzer returned to Crow form. He sighed, "PHEW! That was the toughest transformation I ever accomplished…" He perched down on a tombstone marked as "Otome Saotome" and said, "Finally… It's over. Master… Asahi… Steven… Farra… Princeton… Mr. Sendo… Miss Nevins… Tsukasa… everyone… Thank you very much… We won."

He then grumbled, as he rustled his feathers, "Aw, man! Why couldn't I just say NO to her? I wanna join the victory party! DAMN IT!"

Luzer decided to remain in Darkveil, until he is needed again by Peter Giese or The Gang. However, he's conflicted into deciding if he wants to stay, and hone the art of Yoru no Tsumiken to others.

However, the words were haunted from Countess Kendra, as she said that the war against Despair was far from over.

"Danganronpa…" he whispered, as he looked to the endless night sky. Somehow, the war between Hope and Despair was not over.

After the death of Otome Saotome, it was finally time to go home for Sakura Minamoto. Tsukasa and Kazuki returned to the alleyway, as they greeted each other for one final goodbye.

Kazuki asked, "So, I see that Saotome is joining the same fate as Junko Enoshima?"

Sakura said, "That's right."

Tsukasa asked, "Wait, you can't leave now! Shouldn't you stay a bit longer? It makes me sad that we know you're leaving! You're our city's guardian angel! Please stay!"

Sakura smiled and said, "Thank you. But I'm afraid that our duty is done. Once The Sketch Artist Killer, or Junko Enoshima, is gone forever, I'm no longer needed here in this town. The time has come for us to leave now, and never return. See, I am a ghost, and it's time for me to pass on…"

She grinned, "What about you, Kazuki? You're gonna cry for me, once I'm gone?!"

Kazuki snorted, "Don't be childish. You already died, eleven years ago. Would I really miss you? I've told you that before, but I firmly believe that ghosts should leave this earthly area and pass on already!"

Tsukasa growled, as he scoffed. Kagami snarled, as she appeared from behind him, and twisted his arm, "And this is why you're forever single!"

Kazuki pleaded, "OUCH! OW! STOP! OKAY! YOU'RE BREAKING MY ARM!"

He broke free and shouted, "OKAY, FINE! Since this is the last time I'll see you, I'll be honest! I'm…"

He gulped and said, "I'm going to miss you… Of course I don't want you to go!"

Sakura smiled and sniffled, "Thank you… I'll miss you, too…"

Tsukasa asked, "Wait, Sis? What are you doing here?"

Chazz called, "She invited us, just to see her go."

He, The Gang's Aces, Michelle, Iwata, and the Ropponmatsus were all there, as Tsukasa gasped, "Princeton! Everyone!"

Enju said, as she was with Akari, "It's time to go, Minamoto-san."

She, Akari, Kotonoha, Miss Aiko, Excel, That Man 2019, Sato, and Tonio Jr. also came. Akari sniffled, "We wanted to see you go, so we invited everyone else…"

Excel smirked, "Excel wouldn't miss this, even if she's a part of this hometown."

Miss Aiko said, "We all come to say goodbye."

Sakura looked around, as everyone was smiling to her. Sakura sniffled, "Everyone…"

Chazz said, "This is kind of weird talking to a dead chick, but… Wherever you end up, take care."

Kotonoha added, "See you on the other side~!" as Makoto grunted, agreeing.

Michelle smiled and nodded, "You were a charming lady, and a trusted ally."

Sakura was crying, as she and Romero were floating away in a heavenly light. Tsukasa pleaded, "Sakura! Thank you so much for all you've done! Because of you, you saved F City!"

Sakura said, "This town is now safe, yes… But in my heart, all of you saved F City."

Asahi waved, "Please, stay safe! We'll miss you!"

Michelle stated, "But I promise you that, as long as we live, no one here today will ever forget you or your bravery." as Kotonoha saluted to her. Everyone was looking up, seeing Sakura off, especially Kazuki, who will miss her the most.

Sakura sniffled, as she flew away, "Thank you, all. That means the world. Goodbye, everyone!"

Kagami whispered, "Godspeed, Sakura… Rest easy."

After that, she vanished in the heavens, and she and Romero passed on to another life, where she will rest in peace.

Tsukasa whispered, "Goodbye, Sakura…" Kagami held her and Tsukasa was crying.

That night, in Nagisa's house, Nagisa returned home. He opened the door, as he sighed, "Thank goodness that's all over with…"

He then turned to a photo of himself, as a teenager, with Kaede, in green hair, wearing her school uniform. He whispered, "Kaede… It'll be quiet now, now that this murderer has been ousted… but…"

He was in tears, as he was sniffled, "Kaede… I'm sorry… I'll wait for you…"

He hugged the photo and cried, "I… I want to wait for you, every single day! I want to say this to you… … … I'm sorry. Kaede, please come home…"

He decided to wait for her return. But sadly, Akari Yukimura, a.k.a. Kaede Kayano, Nagisa's best friend, would never return, since she was recently dead. No amount of tears that Nagisa flowed would ever bring her back. But inside Nagisa Shiota's heart… lies a huge beam of hope, within him. He kept hoping for Kaede Kayano's return… … …someday.

Tsukasa narrated, "When all was said and done, F City wasn't what it used to be, anymore… It was hurt by the monsters known as Otome Saotome, The Sketch Artist Killer, and Junko Enoshima, the original totalitarian devil who represented all things despair. Even those that died in their hands… could never return…
I sincerely doubt that Nagisa Shiota will ever see Kaede Kayano, ever again… nor will those who loved Minatsu Amakase, who wait for her return… yet they still wait for them to return, until the end of time…
Whether they are sons, daughters, brothers, or sisters… Junko & Saotome's victims all have families that will forever wait for their return, as well… never giving up hope. That is what this town now falls into – hope. And yet, that hope would only cause their pain to grow deeper…"

XXXXX

A funeral service was made, as Iwata and the Ropponmatsus were present, along with Tsukasa and Kagami, honoring the deaths of Misaki, Watanabe, and Sumiyoshi.

She continued, "The question is… How long can we possibly last to ease this suffering? Will we suffer the pain, all the way to our future, or will we forge ahead, unfettered by fear? I wish I could say…"

With the problems and tribulations of the Sketch Artist Killer now no longer a problem to ALL of the World Government, The Gang's Aces and Michelle Nevins chartered a boat, heading back to America.

Asahi felt worried, as she said, "Chazz… I wonder if he's running late, about to see me off…"

Peter smiled, "Hey, at least we all had fun. But, it's a shame that a lot happened."

Michelle sighed, as she was sitting, "I'm just glad that it's all over… I'm thinking of retiring, after we return to the States…"

Steven was holding the baby, and said, "Obviously. Steven Cooke needs a vacation, too…"

Farra grumbled, "This vacation almost killed me. Some vacation."

Peter then asked Michelle, "Hey… You sure you don't want to see Mayor Takara? I know you came here to see her, but…"

Michelle smirked, "No need. She's no Kabapu, but… I have left my condolences to Hiiragi's partners in Daitenzin…"

Steven said, "Everyone, except Iwata and the robots."

Chazz arrived at the dock, as Asahi was smiling, "AAH! CHAZZ!"

Chazz called, "WAIT! ASA, BABY! You're going, after we had to reconcile?"

Asahi called, "I'm sorry, but I'm needed in New York! I promise that I will come back, someday!"

Michelle smiled, "But then again, I'm more proud of Princeton, than all of us. He truly is our MVP."

She added, "But still, coming here, and witnessing Princeton and the others give their all in the incident at F City, I have made a full-on conclusion… The younger generation are heroes, one and all, and each of them has golden spirits. It's that same spirit of justice we all saw, during our journey to Egypt. I see it within Princeton and the others, all who were a part of our mission and journey. They'll be fine, as long as they cling onto it. We are no longer protecting this town… It's in their hands, now. And we won't worry about it."

Chazz cried out, "HEY! You guys can't leave now! There's one thing I forgot!"

Michelle smiled, "Well…" she gave Peter the baby and said, "It's time for me to say goodbye to a great ally I'm proud of."

He called, "Hey, you guys! It's a shame that you have to leave, after we saved F City! We were planning on celebrating, but… Also, HEY! Old Hag, you still have that photo from long ago?"

Michelle called back, "Yeah! I did! Sorry that I didn't come to your aide, and I didn't mean to leave F City, without my reason here! I left it in my wallet!"

Chazz smiled, "So, she did, did she? Let's find out…"

He held up a slip of paper and said, "This is the edge of the photo…"

He crumpled the paper and used Ojama Star to repair the picture. "OJAMA STAR!"

Farra's wallet came out, as she gasped, "EHHHHH?"

Chazz grabbed the wallet, and said, "If you don't mind, I'll be confiscating that photo, and not to mention…"

He steals Farra's money and jeered, "THIS will pay back ALL the money you owed me for the Baby Store, Old Hag! Besides, if I showed you that photo and take it with you, what are the chances that Triple H and his asshole corporate thugs gonna do about it? And we all know you don't like that, now do we?"

Farra & Michelle seethed in anger, as Farra roared, "OH, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

Michelle snarled, "THAT DIRTY LIMEY-!"

Asahi started to laugh loudly, as she was laughing happily, "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

The boys sighed, "Oh, brother…"

Peter sighed, "What happened to being proud of Princeton?"

Michelle sighed, as Steven calmed Farra down, while Peter held the baby in his arms. Chazz waved goodbye, as the boat was sailing away, "TAKE CARE, YOU GUYS! ASA, COME HOME SOON, BABY! I LOVE YOU!"

Asahi waved goodbye, as tears flowed down from her eyes. She screamed, waving harder, "I LOVE YOU! CHAZZ, I LOVE YOU! I'LL MISS YOU! GOODBYE! I'LL COME VISIT YOU, REAL SOON! GOODBYE! GOODBYE!"

The others smiled, as the baby cooed in glee. Peter sighed, "So, a happy ending, after all… You said it yourself, Michelle. Things can work out in the end."

Michelle smiled, "Yeah. Princeton… That kid's going places."

As the baby laughed, Farra smiled, "I agree. Asahi and Chazz… I hope one day I'll be at their wedding."

Steven smiled, "He may be a pain, and an arrogant guy, but he's one with The Gang now… as an ally of justice…"

Tsukasa narrated, "And that concludes our story of the most bizarre summer ever!
The invisible baby that Agent Nevins founded, well, she kept the baby for herself and adopted it. It turns out that the baby's parents were never found, at all.
The rest of The Gang returned to the USA, as Asahi Sakurai received a medal of honor, for her role in the Sketch Artist Killer drama, while she was only visiting, because she heard of a hot tip about a fire that happened."

So, The Gang departs to America, ending their adventure… and things went back to normal for the City of F…

At the apartments, Kotonoha was cleaning up the apartment, in her maid outfit, as she finished up. "Phew! Princeton will love how I cleaned the place…"

She went to the fridge and opened it. She saw a bottle of orange juice and said, "Oh. Some orange juice. I hope he doesn't mind if I drink his juice. Of course, it'll pay back for accidentally eating my fruit cup."

She took the juice, and went back to work. It is unknown what happens now for Kotonoha Katsura, after the drama had finally ended. She still visits Chazz, every often.

At Angelo's Wall, Tsukasa and Kagami arrive, as Kagami said, "Hey! I'm here now. You were early today."

Tsukasa giggled, "I can't help it. This excitement in drama, I could sleep late."

Kagami smiled, "Well, I made lunch, so, what do you say we have it together?"

As they were talking, Ropponmatsus 1 & 2 walked past them, without looking back. Kagami turned around, and then was concerned. She then let out a smile and said, "They'll be alright…"

She thought, looking to the sky, "Misaki… Watanabe… Sumiyoshi… We did it…"

With the Sketch Artist Killer thwarted, the deaths of Gojo Shioji, Misaki Matsuya, Toru Watanabe, and Daimaru Sumiyoshi were avenged, and are now in peace.

She said to Tsukasa, "Well, let's go."

They walked together, as the Hiiragi Sisters reunite in F City, continuing where the Daitenzin in LSAAWS left off. Kagami then asked her, "By the way, how is Konata, these days?"

XXXXX

At Tonio's, Iwata was enjoying a feast, with his two new buddies, Makoto Ito (in his deformed self), and Stray Cat. He feasted on a plate of pasta and smiled, "WHOOO! What a feast! Princeton was right, this changes me and everything!"

Ito's body started to bulge, as Iwata gasped "OH! Could it be? This is it! You're going to be back to normal again, finally! This is it!"

Ito's body exploded, as he shed only his dead skin. He was still a hideous monster. Iwata sighed, "No… Failure… Oh, well…"

He grinned, "Next time, my friend~!" as Stray Cat meowed. He gave a thumbs-up to Ito, and winked, as Ito gave the thumbs-up back.

Iwata remained as leader of the Daitenzin, alongside the Ropponmatsus and the Hiiragis, following his friends' demise. Makoto Ito, however, is still hideous. But he's still happy.

At the counter, Tonio Jr. was greeting the customers, as Taishi Kuhonbutsu (who was released from the hospital) was greeted by Sato Matsuzaka and Shio Kobe. He said, "Well, I admit that the food was exquisite, but my skin and rugged body have never been this handsome than before! Being that I was Asahi Sakurai's main fan, I still have a heart for all women! COMIC PARTY LIVES WITHIN ME, AS SHINY AS MY NEW LOOK!"

Sato smiled, "OH! Does it really do wonders? I look more beautiful than ever, since last time I checked. We should dine out, more often!"

Shio cheered, "YAY! We want to eat here!"

Sato giggled, "Another time, my love. We should go now. I do look shiny! Why, shinier than dear Taishi, don't you think?" She glittered in a shine, as Shio was in awe for her lover.

Taishi laughed, "Yes, my dear sisters… Let us go together!"

He, Sato, & Shio left together, as Tonio Jr. bowed, "I look forward to your next visit. Molte Grazie!"

Haruko Haruhara, after being released from the hospital, snuck by and went to Tonio Jr., from a distance, feeling rather curious. She grinned, "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeh…"

Eventually, she got in, not just for the food. We'd tell you more, but you don't want to see it.

Meanwhile, in downtown, words fly about how Tsukasa and Kagami are sharing lunch together in a park.

Pedro spoke to Sandora, "No way… Tsukasa and Kagami in the park? Pedro is concerned, being they were our friends' allies… being sisters and all."

Sandora said, "Papa, we should come back home soon, to see Mama… Sandora feels homesick."

Pedro smiled, "Okay. Pedro will invite his sexy wife, next visit~!"

Pedro & Sandora stayed for F City for a while, before returning home. They decided to return home, afterwards, and hope to visit the city, again.

Miss Haruno Aiko, on the other hand, dressed in her black business suit and her hair in a ponytail, was walking down the street, as she said, "Oh! I should return to work and see how Juvia is doing. Odd name for a beautiful mannequin… But it seemed familiar…"

The workplace Farra worked part-time was a successful hotspot, since Juvia's mannequin body was the new feature attraction. Of course, Farra never learned the truth about Haruno Aiko as a Stand User, after all.

However, the worst was yet to come in the rumor mill, as Otome Saotome's disappearance from her local Art College students started to spread, and left a puzzled state about her.

"Did you hear about Miss Saotome's disappearance?" One of the girls asked.

The second one said, "I heard. Saotome's corpse was found, without a face."

The third one was shocked, "How scary…"

They also learned of the body double that substituted for Otome, using her faceless corpse as fodder, thinking it was really her.
And so, the mystery behind the Sketch Artist Killer's identity remained a mystery, as it remained confidential about the REAL identity: Junko Enoshima; though, the serial killer was already stopped.

OH! By the way, whatever happened to Alexis Rhodes, after she was attacked by Natsumi Kuzuryu, you ask? Well, she disappeared from F City, never to be seen again. Though, she vowed, someday, to return, and settle her score with Chazz Princeton, once and for all, for plenty of things… … …including vengeance for breaking her nose.

SMOOSH!
Akari and Enju, meanwhile, were arguing, as Enju was livid.

"I SAID NO!" Enju roared.

Akari pushed back, yelling back, completely furious, "AND I SAID YES! YOU CAN'T GO AROUND PUSHING OTHER PEOPLE!"

Enju yelled, "OH, YEAH? I WANT YOU TO HUNT THIS GUY WHO CALLS HIMSELF THAT MAN 2019 EDITION, AND KILL HIM!"

Akari and Enju pushed their mammoth boobs at each other's, as Akari barked, "THAT'S NOT MY PROBLEM! HOW WILL I KNOW THAT HE IS THAT MAN, AND WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"

Of course, it eventually ended with Akari Hanao and Enju Saion-Ji agreeing that they could NOT go after That Man 19, after Enju's last mistake. Speaking of, the man known as That Man 19 remained in Tsukasa's home, after being discharged from the hospital, as her manservant, for the rest of his unnatural life. Though, he was pleased to work for Tsukasa, after owing her the 500,000 Yen.

At his apartment, Kazuki Sendo was stretching, as he opened each finger, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Right. Now that my warm-up is complete… Let's get started."

He sat down and held his pen. He then frantically drew his manga again, as his newest issue of the Two Brothers doujinshi was by his table. It said "Thanks for waiting – serialization returns!", as after his two months sabbatical, thanks to Chazz Princeton, he returns to his manga drawing.

Far away from F City, meanwhile, on the high voltage towers, known as Rikdosan, Hyatt's Stand, Excel and Hyatt were perched on the towers, as it was their new home. Hyatt was cooking lunch, as Excel was playing with Menchi, who was a bit scared of the height.

Hyatt asked, "Senior? Are you sure that it's wise to live here, from now on? The boys we knew are gone… Nothing's changed."

Excel viewed the city and said, "No… I'm sure. Besides, the view of our home reminds me of… her. Wherever she is, Excel is praying for her…"

Excel knew who this girl was, but she won't tell.

Tsukasa concluded, "And so, the summer of 2019, like any other summer, for most people, passed by in a flash. Peace had come to F City, making for some pretty great days."

Kotonoha was with Tsukasa and Kagami, as Kotonoha said, while they were near the convenient store, "Didn't you hear? Sendo-sensei got arrested for shoplifting in Kameyu…"

Tsukasa gasped, "WHAT? No way!"

Kagami barked, "You're lying!"

Kotonoha said, "I'm not joking! I saw it with my own eyes. But… I'm not really so sure…"

Tsukasa sighed, "So, you don't even know?"

Kagami grumbled, and then smiled, "Dumbass… Well, we'll go check it out. After all, Sis and I are the authority here."

They departed, as Steffi was leaving in a bicycle, as she was in bliss. She turned to the 4th wall, "This town may be screwy, but it's a nice place to visit, ain't it?" She winked, and rode off, leaving F City.

CRASH!
But she took a wrong turn, and crashed into a telephone pole. Don't worry. She's alright.

And so ended The Gang's greatest adventure in Japan, as the Sketch Artist Killer is defeated. With Otome Saotome dead, The Gang, as a whole, returns to America, hopefully for a brand-new adventure!
But as for Chazz Princeton…

Chazz was walking down the street, as he was smiling, looking at his photo of him and Asahi, hanging with the late Minatsu Amakase. He sighed, as he smiled, "Asa."

Just then, a man was behind him, as he called, "You're Chazz Princeton, right? Let's talk."

He stopped, as he turned to the man, "Who the hell are you?"

The man smiled, "Nice hair. I heard about what you did to the Sketch Artist Killer. I won't say who, but that person told me about your past accomplishments. And I may need someone like you, as a part of my Morioh Warriors. What do you say? Just for you… This should be great!"

He posed, as the man has big dark blue hair, in a blue suit and gold medals, and with a smirk on his face. It was Chazz's idol – Josuke Higashikata.

Chazz smiled, as he was witnessing his idol, in-person, and said, "Good grief…"

He walked to him, as he gave his answer to his idol.

But perhaps that's another story, for another time…
…as we end THIS story, altogether.

The Gang IN-ACTION: Act IV – The End

Meanwhile, in New York, in a dark and stormy night, inside a cemetery, a woman was digging into the grave of a recently dead person, with a shovel in her hand. She dug through the muddy dirt, as she groaned, with her chestnut blonde hair flowing down, wearing a hooded raincoat over her white lab coat, blue denim overalls, a pink blouse, and white boots. She finished, as she struck the coffin. She then smiled, "SCORE!"

She pushed the dirt aside and opened the coffin, showing a skeleton inside. It was in a black outfit, with long gray hair, and her arms over her chest. The woman sighed, "Awww… Man! How long was she dead? I must've missed it…"

She grabbed a lock of dead hair and said, "Oh, well. DNA is DNA. You can thank me later… Okuma…"

The woman who grabbed a corpse's lock of hair knew of Tanukichi Okuma, one of The Gang's friends. But why?
All we know is what she did is this: She dug into the grave of one of The Gang's former allies and friends: Ayame Kajou!
